Head and Neck Surgery

Start with the ear resources

The notes describe pain on the concave side of the pinna and possible causes, including head shaking and scratching. Read them alongside Aural Surgery, a mind map that covers aural haematoma as a collection of blood within the cartilage plate and includes drainage.

Next, look at Ear Surgery, another mind map with a section on aural haematoma. Compare the details in the maps, then use the notes to go back over the possible causes of ear pain.

Use flashcards to check details

The Ear surgery flashcards ask about external ear cartilage and the opening of the ear canal. SA Ear Surgery asks about indications for ear surgery, auricular haematoma and ear conditions. After reading the maps, try answering the card questions before checking the material again.

For other areas, Sense organ surgeries includes questions on ear and ophthalmic procedures. Neck surgery asks about neck mass differentials and oropharyngeal stick injuries. SA Oropharyngeal surgery covers questions on oral neoplasia, including clinical signs and diagnosis.

Try the quiz

Cervical Issues includes a fill-in question about saliva leaking from a salivary gland and the resulting swelling. Use it to practice recall after exploring the neck material. The quiz and ear mind maps cover different aspects of the page, so they offer distinct places to check your understanding.

Keep your study focused
