Abstract
Neck dissection removes potential or pro-ven metastases to cervical lymph nodes. It is a complex operation and requires a sound knowledge of the 3-dimensional anatomy of the neck. Indications: Neck dissection may be elective (END) when done for clinically occult metastases, therapeutic (clinical metastases) or may be a salvage procedure (previously treated with surgery +/ radiation). END is indicated when the risk of having occult cervical nodal metastases exceeds 15-20%.
