Abstract Background This study aims to propose surgical approaches intended to localize and preserve the marginal mandibular nerve (MMN) during routinely performed head and neck surgical procedures. Main body of abstract Preservation of the functional integrity of the MMN is a critical measure in the success of orofacial surgeries involving the submandibular triangle. This study systematically reviews the anatomical description of the nerve including origin, course relative to fascial planes, relation to the parotid gland and facial pedicle, branching pattern and anastomosis of nerve and consolidate the findings of several significant studies to determine the “surgically safe” approaches to avoid iatrogenic injury to MMN. Short conclusion The systematic approaches described in this study have helped the authors precisely determine which particular MMN preserving approach to be adopted for each aspect of head and neck surgery. This has definitely enhanced the quality of surgery performed and the postoperative satisfaction of the patients.

Regional Metastases

Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. The single most important factor affecting prognosis for squamous cell carcinoma is the status of the cervical lymph nodes. Metastasis to the regional lymph nodes reduces the 5-year survival rate by 50% compared with that of patients with early-stage disease. The American cancer society reports that 40% of patients with squamous carcinoma of the oral cavity and pharynx present with regional metastases to the cervical lymph nodes. This activity presents the steps for safe and optimum neck dissection. Objectives of the study were to identify the anatomical structures in neck dissection, review the complications of head and neck surgery and summarize the importance of care coordination and to improve outcomes for patients undergoing head and neck surgery.

Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a rare but fatal condition arising due to various infectious and noninfectious causes. Although its incidence is very low in the setting of head and neck surgery, including radical neck dissection, a high index of suspicion with prompt treatment is the key to a successful outcome. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman with a chondrosarcoma of left lower alveolobuccal complex who underwent en bloc tumour resection with infratemporal fossa clearance and left modified radical neck dissection. Subsequently, she developed cavernous sinus thrombosis, which was successfully managed with a multidisciplinary approach. This case highlights the importance of high clinical suspicion in the postoperative setting to diagnose this potentially lethal complication.

AbstractObjective:To review the literature on enhanced recovery programmes in head and neck surgery.Method:A systematic review was performed in May 2013.Results:Thirteen articles discussing enhanced recovery after laryngectomy, neck dissection, major ablative surgery and microvascular reconstruction were identified. Articles on general pre-operative preparation and post-operative care were also reviewed.Conclusion:Considerable evidence is available supporting enhanced recovery in head and neck surgery that could be of benefit to patients and which surgeons should be aware of.

AbstractRadical neck dissection is one of the commonest procedures performed in any unit dealing with head and neck surgery. Intracranial complications following this procedure are uncommon. Transverse sinus thrombosis and venous infarction of the brain following unilateral radical neck dissection have not been reported in the literature. We present a case in which this complication occurred following an uneventful radical neck dissection.
