Neck Dissection (Radical Neck Dissection)

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) 10/01/2012 - "In a highly selected group of patients with cervical lymph node metastases from head and neck SCC, selective neck dissection is effective in controlling the disease in the neck when performed in the setting of a multimodality treatment, including adjuvant radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy." 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 - "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. "
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." 01/01/2012 - "Three-field lymphadenectomy, including neck dissection, is a standard type of lymph node dissection for complete clearance of tumor cells. " 08/01/2010 - "Fourteen patients (82.3%) showed tumor response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, and pathologic complete remission was confirmed in 93% of patients at neck dissection. "
3.	Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Epidermoid Carcinoma) 09/01/2007 - "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 - "Routine bilateral neck dissection is beneficial in the surgical management of squamous cell carcinoma of the supraglottic larynx." 07/01/1997 - "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 - "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). "
4.	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." Regional recurrence was the most common cause of failure after surgical treatment of oral tongue carcinoma. " 01/01/1999 - "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. " 10/01/2011 - "Salvage neck dissection may not be effective for controlling isolated nodal recurrence in patients with oral tongue carcinoma with T2 disease." 05/01/2006 - "The lateral neck dissection is effective in elective treatment of the neck in patients with laryngeal carcinoma." 03/01/2005 - "To evaluate the efficacy of elective neck dissection in the clinically negative neck of patients with primary carcinoma of the parotid gland. "
5.	Head and Neck Neoplasms (Head and Neck Cancer) 01/01/2015 - "Neck dissection is the most definitive and effective treatment for head and neck cancer. " 02/01/2010 - "The question of efficacy of "planned" neck dissection following complete response to chemoradiation of head and neck cancer is discussed. " 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 - "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. " 02/01/2014 - "[Surgery for head and neck cancer: is harmonic scalpel safe and effective for neck dissection?]."
