The results were following ; 1) Number of dissection was ; Unilateral-58 patients, Bilateral-6 patients, Method of neck dissection was ; RND-18 cases, MND-33 cases, FND-19 cases. 2) The most common cause of neck dissection was the laryngeal cancer as 30 cases(46.8%) and histopathologically, squamous cell carcinoma was the most common as 48 cases(75.0%) among the 59 cases of malignancy. 3) The nodal stage of neck node metastasis was ;
N0-17 cases(26.2%), N1-24 cases(36.9%), N2-11 cases(16.9%),
N3-10 cases(15.4%). 4) As for the postoperative complication, nodal metastasis was the most common as 18 cases(27.7%). 5) The nodal recurrence rate after neck dissection was 27.7% and in cases of over 1 year follow-up(42 cases) 1 year NED rate was 44%.
