This retrospective cohort study evaluated the impact of nasal morbidity on quality of life following endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (EESBS) using the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) and Anterior Skull Base Inventory (ASB-12). While 89% of patients found the nasal morbidity acceptable given the surgical goals, limitations include the study's retrospective nature, specific focus on certain pathologies, and a short follow-up period of up to 6 months. Future research should utilize comprehensive outcome assessment tools and consider broader patient populations to enhance study validity and applicability.
