What is Neck Dissection?
Neck dissection is a surgical procedure used to remove lymph nodes and surrounding tissue in the neck. It is commonly performed as part of the treatment for head and neck cancers, such as melanoma and advanced BCC/SCC. The aim is to remove cancerous cells and prevent the spread of the disease to other parts of the body.
The Procedure
During a neck dissection, Dr. Mabvuure will make an incision in the neck to expose the lymph nodes. The extent of the dissection will depend on the stage and location of the cancer. The procedure may involve the removal of lymph nodes from one or both sides of the neck.
Once the lymph nodes are removed, Dr. Mabvuure will carefully close the incision, ensuring minimal scarring and optimal healing. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and you can expect to spend some time in the hospital for monitoring and recovery.
