Background:

Recurrent cervical adenopathy poses intraoperative identification challenges during neck reexploration.
Preoperative imaging techniques lack utility in the operative theater for guiding lymph node resection.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate an intraoperative ultrasound-guided needle localization technique.
To improve the identification and resection of suspicious cervical lymphadenopathy.

Main Methods:

Development of an intraoperative ultrasound-guided needle localization technique.
Application of the technique to guide the resection of suspicious cervical lymphadenopathy.

Main Results:

The technique facilitates easy identification of suspicious lymph nodes.
