A primary tumor at the otolaryngology site may be a radical resection for cervical lymph node metastases. The purpose of the surgery is to remove lymph nodes from the submandibular, subcondylar, anterior, shallow, and deep necks of the neck. To this end, the upper part must be from the lower edge of the mandible to the collarbone, the anterior from the midline of the neck, and the back This area of ​​the muscle includes sternocleidomastoid muscles, scapula hyoid muscles, biceps, internal jugular veins, accessory nerves, and submandibular glands, and is removed with the lymph nodes. For smaller localized cervical metastatic lymph nodes, functional cervical lymphadenectomy is an option. For suspected cervical lymph node metastasis, prophylactic cervical lymphadenectomy is feasible.
