[Possibilities of the use of lymphoscintigraphy in head and neck surgery: introductory studies]

The results of a pilot study of head and neck lymphoscintigraphy are presented. The study was performed in 35 cases with technetium-99m-labelled microcolloid. The scintigraphic observations of the intact and tumorous neck are presented. The results of this pilot study suggest that this method might create the base of a nonspecific additional diagnostic tool.
