class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Neck lymph node surgery, also known as <strong>Neck Dissection<\/strong> or <strong>Cervical Lymphadenectomy<\/strong>, is a surgical procedure performed to remove lymph nodes from the neck area.<br \/>\nLymph nodes are vital components of the lymphatic system that filter lymph fluid and eliminate damaged or cancerous cells.<br \/>\nThis surgery is primarily performed to determine whether cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, since lymph fluid can carry cancer cells from the original tumor to these nodes.<br \/>\nIn advanced stages, the affected nodes may become enlarged and palpable as a mass in the neck.<br \/>\nThe main goal of this surgery is to <strong>stage the cancer<\/strong> and, if necessary, remove the involved lymph nodes for treatment.<br \/>\nWhen performed by an experienced thyroid surgeon, the risk of injury to the vocal nerve is significantly reduced.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_for_Neck_Lymph_Node_Surgery\"><\/span><strong>Reasons for Neck Lymph Node Surgery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Neck dissection may be performed for the following reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cancer evaluation:<\/strong> To determine whether cancer cells have spread to the neck lymph nodes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Removal of affected nodes:<\/strong> To remove lymph nodes that contain or may contain cancer cells.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cancer prevention:<\/strong> To remove lymph nodes at high risk of cancer involvement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reducing recurrence:<\/strong> To lower the chance of cancer returning in the future.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Removal of residual cancer:<\/strong> To eliminate cancer remaining in the lymph nodes after chemotherapy or radiotherapy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Planning further treatment:<\/strong> To help physicians plan the next steps of treatment based on accurate staging information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Needs_Neck_Lymph_Node_Surgery\"><\/span><strong>Who Needs Neck Lymph Node Surgery?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This surgery is typically recommended for individuals whose neck lymph nodes show confirmed or suspected cancer involvement.<br \/>\nThe most common cancers that can spread to the neck lymph nodes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Skin cancers, including melanoma<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Thyroid cancer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Salivary gland cancer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nasal cavity cancer<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_the_Need_for_Surgery_Determined\"><\/span><strong>How Is the Need for Surgery Determined?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Determining whether lymph node surgery is required involves several steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The doctor reviews your medical history and performs a physical examination to assess the size and texture of your neck lymph nodes.<\/li>\n<li>If abnormalities are found (such as swelling, hardness, or tenderness), imaging tests like <strong>ultrasound<\/strong>, <strong>CT scan<\/strong>, or <strong>MRI<\/strong> are performed for a clearer evaluation.<\/li>\n<li>If imaging results are inconclusive, a <strong>biopsy<\/strong> is recommended. A small tissue sample is taken from the lymph node and examined under a microscope to detect cancer or infection.<\/li>\n<li>If the biopsy confirms cancer or indicates a high risk of spread, surgery becomes a key diagnostic and therapeutic option to determine the <strong>stage of cancer<\/strong> and guide further treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Neck_Lymph_Node_Surgery\"><\/span><strong>Types of Neck Lymph Node Surgery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The extent of tissue and lymph node removal depends on how far the cancer has spread. There are three main types of neck dissections:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Radical Neck Dissection:<\/strong><br \/>\nAll lymphatic tissues on one side of the neck (from the jawbone to the collarbone) are removed, including muscles, nerves, salivary glands, and major blood vessels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Modified Radical Neck Dissection:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe most common type. All lymph nodes are removed, but fewer surrounding structures are taken compared to the radical approach. Some nerves, muscles, and vessels may be preserved.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Selective Neck Dissection:<\/strong><br \/>\nUsed when the cancer has not spread extensively. Fewer lymph nodes are removed, and most muscles, nerves, and blood vessels are preserved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Surgery_Is_Performed\"><\/span><strong>How the Surgery Is Performed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The operation is performed in a hospital under general anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure.<br \/>\nNeck lymph node surgery may be done as an <strong>open surgery<\/strong> or <strong>laparoscopic surgery<\/strong>, depending on your overall condition and the extent of the disease.<br \/>\nIn open surgery, a single incision is made to access the neck area.<br \/>\nIn laparoscopic surgery, several small incisions are made \u2014 a camera is inserted through one incision, and surgical instruments through the others.<br \/>\nThe surgeon removes the target lymph nodes and sometimes surrounding tissues. These samples are sent to a laboratory for microscopic cancer evaluation.<br \/>\nBefore closing the incision, a small drainage tube (called a <strong>drain<\/strong>) is placed to prevent fluid buildup and is usually removed a few days later.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preserving_the_Vocal_Nerve_and_Parathyroid_Glands\"><\/span><strong>Preserving the Vocal Nerve and Parathyroid Glands<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>According to <strong>Dr. Seyed Ahmad Fanaei<\/strong>, preserving the <strong>recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN)<\/strong> and <strong>parathyroid glands<\/strong> during <strong>central lymph node dissection<\/strong> is essential.<br \/>\nThe surgeon must precisely identify and trace the RLN during the procedure, fully separating it from the lymph nodes and surrounding tissues.<br \/>\nSince the nerve may sometimes lie beneath or between lymph nodes, any dissection without direct visualization can risk stretching or damaging the nerve.<br \/>\nNo lymph node should be removed before confirming the nerve\u2019s exact location.<br \/>\nAt the end of surgery, <strong>nerve monitoring<\/strong> should be performed on both the proximal and distal parts of the RLN and the <strong>vagus nerve<\/strong> to ensure their proper function.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recovery_After_Neck_Lymph_Node_Surgery\"><\/span><strong>Recovery After Neck Lymph Node Surgery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Recovery time varies by individual and depends on the extent of surgery, the number of nodes removed, and the patient\u2019s overall health.<br \/>\nInitial recovery typically takes <strong>2 to 4 weeks<\/strong>. During this period, some <strong>pain, swelling, and stiffness<\/strong> in the neck area are normal and gradually subside with pain medication and proper care.<br \/>\nIf combined with <strong>chemotherapy or radiotherapy<\/strong>, full recovery may take several months.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pre-_and_Post-Surgery_Instructions\"><\/span><strong>Pre- and Post-Surgery Instructions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Before surgery:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Provide your doctor with a complete medical history.<\/li>\n<li>Inform your surgeon if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy.<\/li>\n<li>List all medications, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.<\/li>\n<li>Stop taking blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, warfarin, or clopidogrel) <strong>5\u20137 days before surgery<\/strong>, as advised by your doctor.<\/li>\n<li>Ask which medications you can take on the day of surgery.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid eating or drinking anything after midnight before surgery.<\/li>\n<li>Take permitted medications with a small sip of water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>After surgery:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ll be transferred to a recovery room until fully awake.<\/li>\n<li>Your bed will be positioned with the head slightly elevated.<\/li>\n<li>An intravenous (IV) line will provide fluids and medications.<\/li>\n<li>You may not be able to eat or drink for the first 24 hours.<\/li>\n<li>Painkillers and antibiotics will be administered.<\/li>\n<li>The drain tube will collect fluids from your neck.<\/li>\n<li>Nurses will help you walk the same day to improve circulation.<\/li>\n<li>Physiotherapy may begin in the hospital or after discharge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Discharge and follow-up:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Most patients are discharged within <strong>2\u20133 days<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>A follow-up visit is scheduled <strong>7\u201310 days<\/strong> after surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Postoperative Care<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Proper postoperative care is vital for faster recovery and preventing complications.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Wound care:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep the surgical site clean and dry.<\/li>\n<li>Do not remove adhesive strips; they will naturally detach after several days.<\/li>\n<li>If stitches are used, apply antibiotic ointment (e.g., Bacitracin) and petroleum jelly twice daily until removal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Drain care:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The drain should be emptied and measured three times daily if discharged with it.<\/li>\n<li>Contact your doctor when the drainage amount drops below <strong>25 cc per day<\/strong> for possible removal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Diet and swallowing:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Swallowing may be difficult due to neck swelling.
