The present book represents the philosophy of neck dissection used by the authors based on their experience over a period of more than 30 years. It also describes the evolution of neck dissection during the 20th century, from George Crile to the surgery of the new millennium. And last but not least, it relates the transition from radical neck dissection to other less aggressive, but equally effective, procedures, which have been designed to manage the neck in patients with head and neck cancer.
