[Clinical comparison of bilateral neck dissection for supraglottic carcinoma]
Objective:
In order to rise the survival rate and quality of life, the patients with bilateral neck dissection was investigated in supraglottic carcinoma.
Method:
76 cases were retrospectively analyzed. In terms of clinical diagnosis, 33 cases who had bilateral neck metastasis had received simultaneously bilateral neck dissection. 43 patients first diagnosed unilateral neck metastasis got subsequent bilateral neck dissection. All of the patients were pathologically diagnosed.
Result:
The 3 and 5 year survival rates, in the 33 cases who had received simultaneous bilateral neck dissection, were 81.5% (22/27) and 61.5%(16/26) respectively, while in the other 43 cases, was 69.2%(27/39) and 27.8%(10/36) respectively.
Conclusion:
It is necessary for those patients who have suffered from supraglottic carcinoma with bilateral neck metastasis to have simultaneous bilateral neck dissections. Meanwhile, the preservation of bilateral internal jugular veins is the best choice, at least one should be preserved.
