Item Current philosophy in the surgical management of neck metastases for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(Wiley, 2015-06) Medina, Jesus E.; Robbins, K. Thomas; Silver, Carl E.; Strojan, Primoz; Teymoortash, Afshin; Pellitteri, Phillip K.; Rodrigo, Juan P.; Stoeckli, Sandro J.; Shaha, Ashok R.; Suarez, Carlos; Hartl, Dana M.; De Bree, Remco; Takes, Robert P.; Hamoir, Marc; Pitman, Karen T.; Rinaldo, Alessandra; Ferlito, Alfio; Çoşkun, Hakan H.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kulak Burun Boğaz-Baş Boyun Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı.; 13610800100Neck dissection is an important treatment for metastases from upper aerodigestive carcinoma; an event that markedly reduces survival. Since its inception, the philosophy of the procedure has undergone significant change from one of radicalism to the current conservative approach. Furthermore, nonsurgical modalities have been introduced, and, in many situations, have supplanted neck surgery. The refinements of imaging the neck based on the concept of neck level involvement has encouraged new philosophies to evolve that seem to benefit patient outcomes particularly as this relates to diminished morbidity. The purpose of this review was to highlight the new paradigms for surgical removal of neck metastases using an evidence-based approach.Item Neck treatment and shoulder morbidity: Still a challenge(Wiley, 2011-07) Bradley, Patrick J.; Ferlito, Alfio; Silver, Carl E.; Takes, Robert P.; Woolgar, Julia A.; Strojan, Primoz; Suarez, Carlos; Zbaeren, Peter; Rinaldo, Alessandra; Coşkun, Hakan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kulak Burun Boğaz-Baş Boyun Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı.; 13610800100Shoulder complaints and functional impairment are common sequelae of neck dissection. This is often attributed to injury of the spinal accessory nerve by dissection or direct trauma. Nevertheless, shoulder morbidity may also occur in cases in which the spinal accessory nerve has been preserved. In this article, the physiology and patho-physiology of the shoulder are discussed, followed by a consideration of the impact of neck dissection on shoulder complaints, functional impairment, and quality of life. Finally, rehabilitation will be considered.Item Proposal for a rational classification of neck dissections(Wiley, 2011-03) Ferlito, Alfio; Robbins, K. Thomas; Shah, Jatin P.; Medina, Jesus E.; Silver, Carl E.; Al-Tamimi, Shawkat; Fagan, Johannes J.; Paleri, Vinidh; Takes, Robert P.; Bradford, Carol R.; Devaney, Kenneth O.; Stoeckli, Sandro J.; Weber, Randal S.; Bradley, Patrick J.; Suarez, Carlos; Leemans, C. Rene; Pitman, Karen T.; Shaha, Ashok R.; de Bree, Remco; Hartl, Dana M.; Haigentz, Missak, Jr.; Rodrigo, Juan P.; Hamoir, Marc; Khafif, Avi; Langendijk, Johannes A.; Owen, Randall P.; Sanabria, Alvaro; Strojan, Primoz; Poorten, Vincent Vander; Werner, Jochen A.; Bien, Stanislaw; Woolgar, Julia A.; Zbaeren, Peter; Betka, Jan; Folz, Benedikt J.; Genden, Eric M.; Talmi, Yoav P.; Strome, Marshall; Botas, Jesus Herranz Gonzalez; Olofsson, Jan; Kowalski, Luiz P.; Holmes, Jon D.; Hisa, Yasuo; Rinaldo, Alessandra; Coşkun, H. Hakan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kulak Burun Boğaz Anabilim Dalı.; 13610800100Item Retropharyngeal lymph node metastases in head and neck malignancies(Wiley, 2011-10) Ferlito, Alfio; Medina, Jesus E.; Robbins, K. Thomas; Rodrigo, Juan P.; Strojan, Primoz; Suarez, Carlos; Takes, Robert P.; Woolgar, Julia A.; Shaha, Ashok R.; de Bree, Remco; Rinaldo, Alessandra; Silver, Carl E.; Coşkun, Hakan H.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kulak Burun Boğaz Anabilim Dalı.; 13610800100Retropharyngeal lymph node (RPLN) metastasis of primary head and neck cancer often receives less consideration than lymph node metastasis in the neck. With improvements in imaging techniques and reports of surgical pathology, there is an improved understanding of the risk and subsequently the need for treatment of RPLNs. The rates of RPLN metastasis from carcinomas of the nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, postcricoid region, maxillary sinus, and cervical esophagus are sufficiently high to warrant routine treatment, either electively or therapeutically, of this region. Through improved diagnostic techniques and heightened awareness of RPLN metastasis, patients at risk of having these metastases can be treated more effectively.Item Selective neck dissection in surgically treated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients with a clinically positive neck: Systematic review(Elsevier Science, 2018-04) Rodrigo, Juan P.; Grilli, Gianluigi; Shah, Jatin P.; Medina, Jesus E.; Robbins, K. Thomas; Takes, Robert P.; Hamoir, Marc; Kowalski, Luiz P.; Suarez, Carlos; Lopez, Fernando; Quer, Miguel; Boedeker, Carsten C.; de Bree, Remco; Rinaldo, Alessandra; Silver, Carl E.; Ferlito, Alfio; Coşkun, Hakan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kulak Burun Boğaz - Baş Boyun Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı.; DVC-7511-2022; 13610800100Adequate treatment of lymph node metastases is essential for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, there is still no consensus on the optimal surgical treatment of the neck for patients with a clinically positive (cN+) neck. In this review, we analyzed current literature about the feasibility of selective neck dissection (SND) in surgically treated HNSCC patients with cN + neck using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. From the reviewed literature, it seems that SND is a valid option in patients with cN1 and selected cN2 neck disease (non-fixed nodes, absence of palpable metastases at level IV or V, or large volume ->3 cm multiple lymph nodes at multiple levels). Adjuvant (chemo) radiotherapy is fundamental to achieve good control rates in pN2 cases. The use of SND instead a comprehensive neck dissection (CND) could result in reduced morbidity and better functional results. We conclude that SND could replace a CND without compromising oncologic efficacy in cN1 and cN2 cases with the above-mentioned characteristics.
