Ok #Melburnians with hayfever, asthma and airborne allergies! You know the drill! Saline sprays, intranasal corticosteroids, inhalers and masks if you’re going to roll around in the grass today. Holding your breath for a whole day is not recommended. #ENTsurgery #surgery #ENTpearls

It’s a beautiful Saturday in Melbourne. Where else would you rather be than in the hospital with people you like running a mock exam drill for future ENT surgeon candidates? I love the skullbase. So exquisitely beautiful. #ENTsurgery #surgeon #ENT #ENTsecrets

Button battery in the nose. The mucosal contact on both sides of the battery create an electrical and a chemical burn. These disc/button batteries look like lollies to kids. Be careful with them. #ENTsurgery #ENTsecrets #ENT #surgery #surgeon

Also, in medicine, a “sinus” is an epithelial lined cyst connected to the surface, like preauricular sinus, pilonidal sinus, branchial sinus, dental sinus, etc. Sinus is like love. What do you really mean? #ENTsecrets #ENTsurgery #surgeon #surgery

Parotidectomy is removal of the parotid gland and tumour. There are over 20 different pathologies that could arise from a parotid gland. Interestingly, the surgery is not so much about the gland but the nerves within it. #ENT #SURGERY #SURGEON #ENTSURGERY #PAROTID #HEADANDNECK #ENTSECRETS 1/2
