The head and neck encompasses perhaps some of the most anatomically complicated regions of the body. Head and neck cancer is a devastating disease and Neck dissection is the standard surgical treatment for resecting cancer in the regional lymph nodes of the neck. The purpose of a neck dissection is to remove those lymph nodes involved by or at risk for involvement by metastatic cancer. An appropriate management of the neck should be essential to improve the patients outcome.
