Upper-neck irradiation (UNI) at the uninvolved neck has shown similar regional relapse-free survival as standard whole-neck irradiation (WNI) in patients with N0-1 nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, w...
Data for 291 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma with unilateral N3 disease who were treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy from 2009 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, ...
The median follow-up was 79.4 months (interquartile range, 56.0-89.3). Twenty-five patients had regional lymph node relapses (UNI: 10.9%, 11/101 vs WNI: 7.4%, 14/190; P = .31). Of these, 23 patients r...
Regional control and survival outcomes were comparable in UNI at the contralateral uninvolved neck and standard WNI in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma with unilateral N3 disease. Our findings p...
Ultrasound examination of the neck organs enables an assessment that in many cases is superior to that of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. Ultrasound is therefore not only a first l...
Surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are often utilized in the treatment of head and neck cancer. These treatments can cause extensive scarring within the neck and can limit the viability of recipient...
While reconstruction in the vessel-depleted neck is an active area of interest, the patient population is rare. Therefore, single institution series with small numbers comprise the majority of publish...
When viable vessel options are available within the treatment field, these recipient vessels can be used with good reliability and free flap success. If in-field recipient vessels are not available, m...
Sensor technology that captures information from a user's neck region can enable a range of new possibilities, including less intrusive mobile software interfaces. In this work, we investigate the fea...
A standard lateral neck dissection should yield at least 18 lymph nodes. The goal of the present study was to examine what factors might influence the number of lymph nodes retrieved during a neck dis...
This was a retrospective cohort study in a tertiary academic referral centre for head and neck oncology. Two hundred and nineteen consecutive neck dissections were examined. Age of the patient and pri...
The mean age was 62.2 ± 13.0 years. The most common primary site was the oral cavity (38.8 per cent). The mean number of lymph nodes was 30.63 ± 13.9. In total, 17.8 per cent had undergone previous ra...
Lymph node yield from a neck dissection is likely multi-factorial in nature. Previous radiotherapy, the only significant contributor, led to a mean reduction of lymph node yield from 33.3 to 18.5....
Neck masses are common in pediatric patients, with benign etiologies such as congenital or inflammatory lesions accounting most of these masses. Anatomic location (most important), clinical history, a...
Incidental findings (IFs) in the head & neck are a frequent challenge to the reporting radiologist. A combination of complex anatomy, widely varied imaging techniques and the high prevalence of benign...
The human neck is a unique mechanical structure, highly flexible but fatigue prone. The rising prevalence of neck pain and chronic injuries has been attributed to increasing exposure to fatigue loadin...
Important organs and structures are located in the cervical region. In case of blunt and penetrating trauma, emergency situations may arise....
Emergency management as well as diagnostic and therapeutic steps pertaining to neck injuries are presented....
Shock therapy and airway management are essential, fast management of neck injuries highly relevant....
After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the cardinal principles in the management of postburn deformities in the face and neck. 2. Understand reconstruction of sp...
Postburn contractures in the face and neck region are multifactorial in origin and difficult to prevent in extensive burns. Facial burns lead to distortion of anatomical landmarks, causing aesthetic, ...
