Abstract
The posterolateral neck dissection removes the occipital and retroauricular lymph nodes in addition to nodal groups 2 through 5. This procedure is performed for the removal of metastatic or at-risk lymph nodes in the posterolateral neck, which most commonly originate from the cutaneous surfaces of the scalp and neck posterior to a coronal plane connecting the external auditory canals. The major surgical consideration is the identification and preservation of the spinal accessory nerve.
期刊介绍：
This large-size, atlas-format journal presents detailed illustrations of new surgical procedures and techniques in otology, rhinology, laryngology, reconstructive head and neck surgery, and facial plastic surgery. Feature articles in each issue are related to a central theme by anatomic area or disease process. The journal will also often contain articles on complications, diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation. New techniques that are non-operative are also featured.
