Neck dissection is a surgical procedure used to remove lymph nodes and, when necessary, other tissues from the neck that may contain or be at risk of containing cancer. The extent of surgery is carefully planned based on the type, location, and stage of the head and neck cancer.
Radical neck dissection is an extensive form of neck surgery that removes lymph nodes along with specific surrounding structures when they are involved by advanced cancer. It is considered when achieving complete cancer removal requires removal of these structures.
Selective neck dissection removes specific groups of lymph nodes that are at the greatest risk of containing cancer while preserving other neck structures and lymph node groups whenever appropriate. This approach can provide effective cancer control with less extensive surgery
Cervical lymph node surgery focuses on removing and examining abnormal lymph nodes in the neck when cancer spread is suspected or confirmed. The surgical approach depends on the number, size, location, and relationship of the affected lymph nodes to nearby structures.
Neck lump evaluation focuses on identifying the cause of a persistent or unexplained swelling in the neck. A thorough assessment may include clinical examination, imaging, and needle biopsy when appropriate to determine whether the lump is benign, inflammatory, or related to cancer.
“Behind every diagnosis is a person with hopes, fears, and loved ones. My goal is to guide each patient with expertise, empathy, and unwavering commitment.”
