Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of E.N.T Summary: After a total laryngectomy the upper and lower airways are disconnected resulting in a wide range of adverse effects, e.g. deterioration of nasal functions in breathing, loss or decrease of normal sense of smell. The overall aims of this thesis were: 1) To assess the olfaction in laryngectomized patients. 2) To evaluate the long-term olfaction state of these patients after the operation. The study population consisted of 32 laryngectomized patients. Olfaction acuity was examined with the Scandinavian Odor Identification Test (SOIT). The patients were categorized as non-smellers (anosmia) or smellers (normosmia or hyposmia) based on the SOIT results. It was concluded that: 1) Olfactory impairment is common in laryngectomized patients. 2) The more the duration after total laryngectomy operation, the more impairment of patient olfaction
