This brilliantly illustrated manual on neck dissection is a roadmap for advanced surgeons and beginners alike. It guides the reader through the cervical structures with practical step-by-step exercises. The illustrations provide an overview of all relevant surgical anatomy important for the identification and treatment of oncologic patients. This book is divided into sections, starting with the most superficial and progressing to the deepest structures, illustrating the methods employed by surgeons operating in vivo. Regional "visits" are supported by concise references to normal human anatomy, physiology and clinical studies as well as by practical indications and tips on operating techniques. This guide offers valuable support to all surgeons for the identification of relevant and significant anatomical neck structures and therefore helps to improve surgical skills and avoid surgical complications.
