Summary

A novel in-continuity neck dissection technique for advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) delivers lymph nodes through a mandibular tunnel. This method simplifies surgery, reduces operating time, and minimizes trauma, potentially lowering residual cancer cell risk.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Advanced-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) typically requires in-continuity neck dissection.
  • Large oral lesions or those involving the alveolar process necessitating marginal mandibulectomy present surgical challenges with traditional techniques.
  • Current methods carry a risk of residual cancer cells due to tumor manipulation during retraction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified in-continuity neck dissection technique for advanced OSCC.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of delivering cervical lymph nodes through a mandibular tunnel.
  • To address the operational difficulties and risks associated with traditional approaches in complex cases.

Main Methods:

  • A novel in-continuity neck dissection was developed, creating a tunnel within the mandible.
  • Cervical lymph nodes are delivered into the oral cavity through this mandibular tunnel.
  • The technique was applied to patients with advanced-stage OSCC, including those requiring marginal mandibulectomy.

Main Results:

  • All patients undergoing the modified technique showed favorable postoperative recovery.
  • The described method simplifies surgical complexity and reduces overall operating times.
  • The technique minimizes patient trauma compared to traditional approaches.

Conclusions:

  • This modified in-continuity neck dissection is a viable and beneficial approach for advanced OSCC.
  • By avoiding tumor passage through the mandible and neck, the technique may reduce the risk of residual cancer cells.
  • The procedure offers advantages in terms of surgical efficiency, patient safety, and oncologic outcomes.
