Giorgia Lupi's essay highlights her struggle with long COVID symptoms like dizziness and fatigue. Recent surgical advancements at University College London Hospitals may provide hope for those suffering, particularly regarding anosmia. The functional septorhinoplasty performed has restored the sense of smell in some patients with long COVID. While the surgery addresses one prominent symptom, other long COVID challenges remain unsolved. This initiative brings optimism in a field where effective treatments have been hard to find, showcasing an innovative approach to a complex medical issue.
