متن کاملPreventable Sternocleidomastoid Muscular Atrophy after Neck Dissection
BACKGROUND Modified radical neck dissection (mRND) [preserving the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) and the spinal accessory nerve] and supraomohyoid neck dissection have become common surgical procedures for treating head and neck cancer. Postoperative severe asymmetry of the neck and severe atrophy of the SCM, however, have been demonstrated. METHODS Using computed tomographic images, cross...
