Preservation of neck dissection for histological study.

Dissection of lymphatic nodes in the neck--whether radical or partial, functional or prophylactic--forms an integral part of the surgical management of cancer of the head and neck. Accurate orientation and fixation of the surgical specimen is a prerequisite for correct histopathological study of the extent of the disease and for a complete clinicopathological interpretation, which is of significant therapeutic and prognostic importance.
