Abstract :

In India, head and neck cancers constitute 10–15% of all malignancies. A critical prognostic factor in head and neck cancers is spread of disease to regional lymph nodes and the presence or absence of even microscopic extra capsular spread. In India, head and neck cancers constitute 10–15% of all malignancies. A critical prognostic factor in head and neck cancers is spread of disease to regional lymph nodes and the presence or absence of even microscopic extra capsular spread. Although functional superiority of SAN preserving neck dissection is established, any nerve spå neck dissection can still be associated with some functional disability3–10. The present study is aimed to compare shoulder function in different neck dissections with or without flap reconstruction.
