01Otology, neurotology and audiological interpretation
Build your otology reasoning around three frameworks : (1) conductive vs. sensorineural hearing loss on tuning forks and audiometry; (2) the site-of-lesion approach to vertigo (peripheral vs.
447 words, about 2 min02Rhinology, skull-base boundaries and allergic disease
Rhinology questions test your ability to separate inflammatory from structural causes of nasal obstruction and to apply evidence-based medical therapy before surgery . Understand the ostiomeatal complex as the drainage pathway for the maxillary, anterior ethmoid, and frontal sinuses, and know that the sphenoid drains separately.
521 words, about 3 min03Voice, laryngeal function, airway and sleep
Laryngology questions hinge on history and laryngoscopy . Persistent dysphonia requires visualization according to the actual presentation.
497 words, about 2 min04Head and neck tumors, salivary and endocrine surgery
Head and neck oncology questions test staging logic, anatomic boundaries, and treatment sequencing . Know the AJCC TNM principles: T reflects primary tumor size and invasion, N reflects nodal burden (number, size, laterality, extracapsular extension), and M reflects distant disease.
611 words, about 3 min05Pediatric airway, infection, congenital disease and development
Pediatric otolaryngology emphasizes airway size, congenital anomalies, and age-specific infection patterns . Know that the pediatric airway is narrower and more compliant , so small edema causes disproportionate obstruction.

Facial plastic questions blend aesthetic analysis, reconstructive principles, and trauma management . For the aging face, understand the three tissue layers (skin, subcutaneous fat/muscle, and deeper fascia) and the concept of volume loss versus ptosis .
