AB  - A  headrest  for  head  and  neck  surgery  can  be  fashioned  from  foam  packing  material  (Styrofoam)  or  a  piece  of  foam  cushion  or  mattress.  Use  a  25-cm  ×  25-cm  ×  10-cm  piece  of  the  material  and  hollow  out  the  middle  so  that  it  is  only  one-third  of  the  original  depth.  This  space  is  for  the  patient's  head.  The  foam  material  will  provide  traction  to  keep  it  on  the  operating  room  (OR)  table.1  This  headrest  can  also  be  used  as  a  sleeping  pillow  if  the  individual  needs,  or  wants,  to  be  only  on  their  back.
