The purpose of this study is to analyze and report orbital decompression outcomes in patients with a thyroid eye disease diagnosis.

The objective is to show that balanced orbital decompression will reduce preoperative Hertel’s measurement when compared to measurements done intraoperatively and remain stable at three-month follow-up. Additionally, to see increased patient satisfaction and quality of life regarding cosmesis when comparing pre and postoperative satisfaction surveys.

The objectives of this study are to describe the incidence of COVID-related olfactory loss, to compare the effectiveness of acupuncture, steroid rinses, and olfactory training versus steroid rinses and olfactory training in the treatment of COVID-related olfactory loss, and to recommend a treatment paradigm for patients with COVID-related olfactory loss.

The goal of this study is to determine the olfactory outcomes and quality of life outcomes associated with cautery upper limb vs cold knife upper limb nasal septal incision.

Trudi will give us the data points to address residents and consultants skill level and areas of weakness during endoscopic sinus surgeries. (ESS)

The purpose of this study is to gather periodic quality of life data using the validated SNOT-22 protocol and/or other validated metrics using a free iPhone application for patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis (CRSwNP).

The purpose of this study is to:

1. Evaluate if there are detrimental effects of restarting CPAP therapy on POD #0-1 in patients undergoing ESS compared to normal controls undergoing ESS without OSA.

2. Determine if there a difference in perception of pain and post-operative analgesia requirement in OSA patients restarting CPAP on POD #0-1 compared to non-OSA patients.

3. Determine if there are predictive factors for OSA patients undergoing ESS who require an overnight hospitalization after surgery.

4. Validate the nocturnal Rhinoconjuctivitis Quality of Life (nRQLQ) questionnaire in the CRS population.
