Direct closure of primary lesion was performed in ten patients and a forearm free flap reconstruction was used in one patient. No wound breakdown or infection was found in all cases. The mean operativ...
The lateral cervical stria approach for SND in early-stage oral malignancies is reliable, achieving to satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes....
The aim of this study is to analyse the demographics, diagnosis, nodal yield, metastatic rates and outcomes of patients undergoing neck dissections within the Waikato Hospital Oral and Maxillofacial S...
All patients that underwent neck dissections under the care of OMS at Waikato Hospital between January 2016 and December 2021 were included. Data on patient demographics, diagnosis, surgery details, n...
One hundred and five patients and 123 neck dissections were included in the final analysis. The median age was 65 years of age. The average nodal yield from a selective neck dissection of levels I-III...
The demographics and outcomes of the study cohort are consistent with both the current population and previously published head and neck data. The OMS unit at Waikato Hospital recommends omission of l...
Our objective was to examine the impact of elective neck dissection (END) on the prognosis of patients with cT2N0 maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma (MS-SCC) and to determine factors that predict...
Shoulder syndrome can be reduced by preserving the spinal accessory nerve (SAN). However, it is unclear whether performing level IIb preservation will decrease the risk of SAN injury and shoulder synd...
We investigated whether neck dissection with level IIb preservation can reduce shoulder dysfunction and postoperative quality of life (QOL) in head and neck cancer patients....
This prospective observational study enrolled patients who underwent neck dissection from 2011 to 2014. Patients were divided into three groups (level IIb preservation group [group 1], IIb dissection ...
There were a total of 35 neck sides in three groups, with nine neck sides in group 1, 16 neck sides in group 2, and 10 neck sides in group 3. Although the results showed less shoulder dysfunction in g...
Neck dissection with level IIb preservation may help reduce shoulder syndrome and maintain QOL in the early postoperative period....
Hypoparathyroidism is the most common complication for patients who undergo total thyroidectomy (TT) with bilateral central lymph node dissection (BCLND). The objective of this retrospective study was...
Four hundred and sixty-five patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) who underwent TT with BCLND (including prophylactic and therapeutic BCLND) by the same surgeon were enrolled in this retrosp...
Transient and permanent hypoparathyroidism occurred in 83 (17.8%) and 2 (0.4%) patients who underwent TT and BCLND, respectively. The incidence of transient hypoparathyroidism increased gradually with...
With an increasing number of PAs, the possibility of transient hypoparathyroidism also increases in patients with PTC who undergo TT and BCLND. Considering the rapid recovery of transient hypoparathyr...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefits of prophylactic lymph node dissection in medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) patients without radiographically lateral neck metastases....
Retrospective cohort study....
Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital....
Patients who underwent primary surgery for MTC between 2011 and 2019 and without structural disease of the lateral neck preoperatively....
Locoregional recurrence, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were examined....
The patients were divided into two groups: the central lymph node dissection (CLND) only group and the prophylactic lateral lymph node dissection (PLND) group, which included CLND and ipsilateral late...
PLND in the absence of structural disease of the lateral neck preoperatively is not associated with improved survival in patients with sporadic MTC....
Selective neck dissection (SND) is the treatment of choice in patients with oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) and clinically node-negative necks (cN0). The treatment of patients with positive-stag...
Detection of nodal metastasis is critical for the treatment and prognosis of head and neck cancer (HNC). Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly being used to detect ...
The purposes of this study were to (1) investigate the diagnostic accuracy of PET/CT for the detection of neck metastasis in patients with HNC and (2) determine the effect of the time interval between...
Fifty patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who underwent PET/CT before surgery were included in this study. Preoperative PET/CT images that determined lymph node metastasis were compare...
A total of 79 neck dissections were included in the study as 29 (58%) of the patients underwent bilateral neck dissection. The overall accuracy of PET/CT in detecting nodal metastasis was highest for ...
Although PET/CT is an important and reliable diagnostic method for detecting nodal metastases in patients with HNC, its reliability decreases as the time between surgeries increases. The optimal inter...
The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the potential of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with recurrent or a secondary oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) without clinical si...
Retrospective analysis of all patients with cN0 recurrent or secondary OSCC, who were treated using SLNB after previous neck dissection. Endpoints were sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection rate, negati...
A total of 17 patients with a mean age of 68.6 years were included. SLN were detected in 15 of 17 cases (detection rate: 88.2%). In seven patients (41.2%), a bilateral or contralateral lymph drainage ...
SLNB can improve the staging of patients with recurrent or secondary OSCC, who present with a history of a previous neck dissection. Further studies are required to demonstrate the oncological benefit...
