Description

This new, in-depth text covers the state of the art management of cervical lymph node mestastis. Opening with coverage of the historical background to the current treatment modes, the authors outline the specific routes of metastatic disease and their surgical dissection. Detailed are therapeutic dissection techniques for thyroid cancer, salivary cancer, and melanoma by surgeons who have pioneered elective techniques for management of nodal disease, and attention is given to post-operative findings related to quality of life. Unique to this book is a discussion of neck dissection as a salvage procedure.
