- Abstract
Introduction: 40% of patients with SCC have regional dissemination at diagnosis. In patients with lymph node metastases, survival rates decrease by 50% in all SCCs. Purpose: to discuss the classification and procedure of neck dissection. Literature Review: One of the prognostic determinants of head and neck malignancy is the presence of lymph node metastases. The most widely used standard classification today is comprehensive and selective neck dissection. Comprehensive neck dissection is a surgical procedure that involves removing all cervical nodes from level I to level IV of the neck. Selective neck dissection is a surgery that only involves a few groups of nodes that have a risk of micrometastases with clinical N0 such as supraomohyoid, jugular node, anterolateral, posterolateral, and central compartment neck dissection. Conclusion: Many patients with upper respiratory tract malignancy diagnosed at advanced stage, so management of cervical lymph nodes is an important management component.
