An adjustable dissection and surgical table for teaching residents, fellows, staff, and other medical and allied health personnel about anatomy and simulated techniques of surgery in the laboratory setting is described. The table can be attached to a standard House‐Urban temporal bone dissection bench. The temporal bone laboratory can thus serve a dual purpose in teaching ear and soft tissue anatomy and surgical techniques of the head and neck. In this setting such a dual purpose laboratory can often include basic and clinical research activities as a third function.
