Hello all, I am a medical student working on this page as part of a Wikipedia and Health mini-course I will be taking, so I look forward to working with you all! Upon review of this page, I believe there are a few things I will be addressing in my future updates in the next few weeks.

• Citations are needed for the five types of mastoidectomy, and a check for more recent sources in the last 5 years would be helpful
• It would be helpful to do exploration/links/citations into other procedures in which mastoidectomy are used in
• Add external links to meatoplasty and exteriorization, middle ear
• Description of modified radical does not seem completely concise, and will be investigated as to a better approach to summarize and highlight the most important aspects of understanding this subcategory
• There seems to be a lack of historical context for this procedure, which will be added
• There also is a lack of distinction as to when this procedure would be necessary, which may require additional editing
