    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Head and Neck Surgery

    Background:

    • Radical neck dissection (RND) is a century-old surgical technique.
    • It is the primary method for managing suspected or gross cervical lymph node metastasis.
    • The procedure involves en bloc removal of neck tissues, including the lymphatic system.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the evolution and efficacy of radical neck dissection.
    • To highlight its role in controlling head and neck cancer spread.
    • To discuss factors influencing cure rates and complications.

    Main Methods:

    • En masse removal of all tissues between subdermis and fascia colli.
    • Dissection boundaries: midline to anterior trapezius, clavicle to mandible.

  • Focus on the cervical lymph system, including nodes and vessels.

    • Main Results:

    • Controllability of cancer is directly related to lymph node involvement (number, size, location).
    • Routine radical neck dissection has minimal complications.
    • Cure rates are influenced by primary cancer characteristics and adjunctive therapies.

    Conclusions:

    • Radical neck dissection remains an essential surgical tool for head and neck cancer management.
    • Effective control of metastasis is achieved through comprehensive lymph node removal.
    • Further research into adjunctive treatments and immunological factors can improve outcomes.
