[Pain-sensation following classic neck-dissection (author's transl)]. 1977

I M Scharf, and H J Kornmesser, and A Hahnemann

Resulting neck-dissection surgery (including curative or conservative intervention) very complex pain-syndromes are next to losses of function at the top of complaints stated. The discussion of the case-reports of 242 patients with unilateral neck-dissection and the reexamination of 28 patients free of recurrence revealed several causes of head- and facial pain. The close relationship of functional disability and pain-sensation is discussed. The recommendation of elective neck-dissection - by critical indication - is supported. Resection of nervus accessorius may be necessary in some cases, immediate reconstruction by nerve sutures is recommended. By post-operative treatment the complaints often can be relieved.

D000055	Accessory Nerve	The 11th cranial nerve which originates from NEURONS in the MEDULLA and in the CERVICAL SPINAL CORD. It has a cranial root, which joins the VAGUS NERVE (10th cranial) and sends motor fibers to the muscles of the LARYNX, and a spinal root, which sends motor fibers to the TRAPEZIUS and the sternocleidomastoid muscles.

D037981	Neck Dissection	Dissection in the neck to remove all disease tissues including cervical LYMPH NODES and to leave an adequate margin of normal tissue. This type of surgery is usually used in tumors or cervical metastases in the head and neck. The prototype of neck dissection is the radical neck dissection described by Crile in 1906.
