| Abstract: | The management of the patient with bilateral metastases to the cervical lymph nodes has been discussed. Nine patients were subjected to complete bilateral radical neck dissection, four of which were performed in one stage, without operative mortality or serious postoperative morbidity. No significant complications attributable to venous engorgement or increased pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid have been noted. Simultaneous bilateral radical neck dissection is a procedure of limited applicability, but is fully justified in selected patients with potentially curable bilateral metastases to the cervical lymph nodes. |
