Description: Dissection in the neck to remove all disease tissues including cervical LYMPH NODES and to leave an adequate margin of normal tissue. This type of surgery is usually used in tumors or cervical metastases in the head and neck. The prototype of neck dissection is the radical neck dissection described by Crile in 1906.

1.	Neoplasm Metastasis (Metastasis) 09/01/2008 - "When no macroscopic evidence of metastasis is present, ipsilateral central neck dissection is the best treatment strategy in a balanced decision between the need for achieving local radical excision, correct disease staging, and reducing the risk of complications." 05/01/2008 - "METHODS: Retrospective review of patients with N2-3 cervical metastases at presentation who underwent planned neck dissection after complete biopsy-proven clearance of primary site mucosal disease with chemoradiotherapy between 2000 and 2006. " 03/01/1993 - "The addition of a neck dissection 4 to 6 weeks after radiotherapy of patients with advanced-stage neck disease was accomplished with an acceptable rate of morbidity and significantly improved the rate of control of neck metastases compared with radiotherapy alone." 02/01/2006 - "More recently, selective neck dissection, involving removal of nodes confined to the levels at greatest risk of metastasis from primary tumours at various sites, has become accepted practice for elective and, in some instances, therapeutic treatment of the neck. " 03/01/2008 - "Future studies should focus on determining whether SNB alone reduces patient morbidity and whether this is as equally effective in the treatment of cervical nodal metastases as compared with selective neck dissection in patients with oral SCC."

2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/1996 - "The radical neck dissection on the tumor side, as well as on the opposite side helped to achieve the most better treatment results than after resection of the lymph nodous suprahyioidei only. " 06/01/1984 - "These tumors are most effectively treated with en bloc primary excision and regional node dissection, which includes superficial parotidectomy with or without neck dissection. " 08/01/1992 - "The findings suggest that response of neck nodes should be assessed independently of primary tumor response in trials of organ preservation strategies using induction chemotherapy, and that failure to achieve a clinical complete response in the neck warrants planned early salvage neck dissection in order to achieve improved overall survival." 03/01/2009 - "The survival (overall, disease-specific and neck disease-free) and the site of neck recurrence of the patients with N0 supraglottic cancer were not significantly different between patients in the neck dissection treatment group and those of the rest of the therapeutic strategies examined (neck radiotherapy, combined therapy and 'wait and see' policy). " 04/01/2001 - "(The latter may reflect bias associated with positive surgical margins or premorbid conditions.) In the secondary analysis, age, tumor size, and positive lymph node status were associated with significantly worse disease-specific survival, whereas surgical excision plus neck dissection was associated with improved survival.

3.	Carcinoma (Carcinomatosis) 10/01/1997 - "Elective neck dissection also increased the 5-year disease-free actuarial survival rate to 86% compared with 55% for "watchful waiting." CONCLUSIONS: Regional recurrence was the most common cause of failure after surgical treatment of oral tongue carcinoma. " 01/01/1999 - "BACKGROUND: The study aims at evaluation of the efficacy of elective neck dissection as a staging and therapeutic procedure for N0 neck of early carcinoma of the oral tongue by whole organ serial sectioning. " 05/01/2006 - "CONCLUSION: The lateral neck dissection is effective in elective treatment of the neck in patients with laryngeal carcinoma." 03/01/2005 - "OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of elective neck dissection in the clinically negative neck of patients with primary carcinoma of the parotid gland. " 12/01/2008 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of selective neck dissection (SND) in managing the N0 neck in oral cavity carcinomas.

4.	Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Epidermoid Carcinoma) 09/01/2007 - "SIGNIFICANCE: Planned neck dissection following definitive radiotherapy or chemoradiation is highly effective in achieving regional control of squamous cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue." 07/01/1994 - "CONCLUSION: Routine bilateral neck dissection is beneficial in the surgical management of squamous cell carcinoma of the supraglottic larynx." 07/01/1997 - "BACKGROUND: The efficacy of extending the application of selective neck dissection to include more-extensive neck disease in patients with squamous carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract remains controversial. " 05/01/2006 - "The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the lateral neck dissection (LND) for elective treatment of the clinically node negative neck (cN0) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). " 10/01/2002 - "OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of selective neck dissection (SND) for elective treatment of the clinically negative neck in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

5.	Head and Neck Neoplasms (Head and Neck Cancer) 02/01/1975 - "It is suggested that the last major improvement in the surgical treatment of head and neck cancer was Crile's description of radical neck dissection in 1906, and that modifications of this procedure, including extended surgery, have made little or no difference to survival rates. " 11/01/2008 - "BACKGROUND: Selective neck dissection as a part of an elective or therapeutic treatment of the neck is a common practice during the surgical treatment of patients with head and neck cancer. " 05/01/2008 - "CONCLUSIONS: Neck dissection is a safe and effective procedure and a necessary component of the multimodality management of all head and neck cancer patients with N2-3 disease. " 01/01/2004 - "SLNBX shows promise in its ability to accurately stage NO head and neck cancer and may allow patients with no micro metastatic disease to avoid neck dissection. " 06/01/1999 - "Efficacy of targeted chemoradiation and planned selective neck dissection to control bulky nodal disease in advanced head and neck cancer." Order ALL the reference details at left...
