  • Title: [Radical versus modified neck dissection. Cancer-related and functional viewpoints].
    Author: Mann W, Wolfensberger M, Füller U, Beck C.
    Journal: Laryngorhinootologie; 1991 Jan; 70(1):32-5. PubMed ID: 2025344.
    Abstract:
    In a retrospective study 256 cases with curative or prophylactic neck dissection were evaluated with regard to neck recurrence and survival. In 173 cases the spinal accessory nerve had been preserved, in the remaining 86 cases it had been sacrificed. The results demonstrate that preservation of the accessory nerve has no influence on the regional recurrence rate and on survival if preservation of the nerve is possible without compromising the radicality of the neck dissection and if the patient is subjected to post-operative radiation.
