Elective Neck Dissection - When and Why?

The current classification of neck dissection does not cover all possibilities. Elective neck dissection is the method of choice over observation, as occult metastases have a much better prognosis than a clinical positive finding. Disease specific and overall survival is dependant of neck dissection type and surgeon-related variability. Elective neck dissection is recommended and selective neck dissection is rationale, however modified radical neck dissection has the advantages of being more comprehensive.
