A member asked:
Hi doctors, was just wondering what is a radical neck disection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: A radical neck dissection is a surgery that removes a large area of lymph nodes along with 3 other structures in the neck. It is done for cancers that have spread to the neck lymph nodes. Most neck dissections done today are either selective or "modified radical" neck dissections.
