Otology

Otology on the Nareseal Atlas covers the anatomy, conditions, procedures, and instruments of the ear — from routine otoscopy and cerumen management through chronic suppurative otitis media, tympanic membrane perforation, and cholesteatoma, to reconstructive procedures like tympanoplasty and the surgical instrument sets used to perform them. This hub brings the otology content together in one place: first-principles ear anatomy, the conditions clinicians see most often in outpatient ENT, and the diagnostic and surgical instruments referenced throughout.
