| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: Post-auricular incisions are performed for a range of otological procedures. Anecdotally, many patients suffer some numbness of the pinna or post-auricular skin post-operatively, but for most this appears to reduce with time. This study aimed to investigate this phenomenon. METHODS: A single centre, questionnaire-based study was undertaken, assessing the presence of numbness beyond eight months post-surgery, its location, how it changed, and its impact on the patient. Patients whose numbness had resolved provided details of any temporary deficit. Data were acquired for 35 primary and 16 revision procedures. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Sixty-nine per cent of patients undergoing primary surgery experienced post-operative numbness. Twenty-six per cent had continued numbness after at least eight months' recovery, but only 3 per cent were constantly aware of the deficit. Of those with an ongoing deficit, 78 per cent felt there had been a reduction in the severity, and 67 per cent in the area size, over time. Recovery appeared to be slightly worse in revision cases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
