  • Adequate oncological outcomes are reported for various tumors.
  • Cosmetic satisfaction is significantly higher with RND, though operative time is longer.

    • Conclusions:

    • RND is a viable option for neck metastasis treatment, improving cosmesis and potentially function.
    • Ensuring oncologic effectiveness is crucial.
    • Further investigation into functional outcomes is warranted due to limited objective data.
