Elective Neck Dissection in Patients Undergoing Salvage Laryngectomy: Outcomes, Complications, and Considerations.

Objective In this study, we sought to identify the predictors for occult nodal disease (OND) and compare oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing elective neck dissection (END) at the time of salvage laryngectomy (SLE) versus the observation group. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted involving all patients with clinically node-negative (cN0) necks who underwent SLE at a tertiary academic center over 12 years. A total of 58 patients met the inclusion criteria and were divided into two groups: END (n=39) and observation (n=19).
