About Neck Dissection (Lymphadenectomy)
The surgeon removes groups of lymph nodes, called levels, through a neck incision. A radical dissection also removes the muscle, vein and nerve, while modified and selective types spare these structures and are used more often. Sometimes it is done at the same time as removing the primary tumour. A drain is left for a few days.
The operation provides staging information and helps control cancer in the neck. Results depend on the primary cancer, how many nodes are involved and whether radiotherapy is needed. Possible effects include numbness around the ear, shoulder weakness or stiffness, and a collection of fluid. Physiotherapy often helps shoulder function recover.
Plan for a hospital stay of a few days and about four weeks before normal activity. Stay nearby until the drain is removed and the pathology results are discussed. Bring imaging and biopsy reports, and arrange shoulder physiotherapy and follow-up with your oncologist or head and neck team at home.
Usually a good fit if
- Cancer that has spread, or is likely to spread, to neck lymph nodes from the mouth, throat, thyroid, skin or other sites.
- Neck nodes that remain after chemoradiation or recur later.
- Fit for general anaesthesia, with a multidisciplinary team recommending surgery.
May need to wait if
- Spread to distant organs often means drug treatment rather than neck surgery.
- Nodes fixed to the skull base or major arteries may not be removable.
- Bleeding disorders, active infection or severe heart and lung disease need optimisation.
How to prepare
- Bring biopsy, ultrasound, CT, MRI or PET-CT results showing which nodes are involved.
- Ask your doctor about adjusting blood thinners and diabetes medicines before surgery.
- Stop smoking and alcohol to support healing.
- Meet the physiotherapist to learn shoulder exercises that begin after surgery.
- Discuss whether the primary tumour will be treated in the same operation.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Which levels of the neck will be removed and which structures will be saved?
- What is the chance of shoulder weakness or numbness, and how is it managed?
- Will the operation be combined with removal of the main tumour?
- How long will drains stay, and who removes them?
- Will I need radiotherapy or chemotherapy afterwards?
- Who provides shoulder physiotherapy near my home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No imaging of neck nodes before deciding the extent of surgery.
- Radical dissection is advised without explaining why a more selective type is not enough.
- No physiotherapy or shoulder exercise plan.
- Surgeon cannot explain nerve risks and how they are protected.
Questions about Neck Dissection (Lymphadenectomy) abroad
Which country is cheapest for Neck Dissection (Lymphadenectomy)?
The lowest typical hospital prices are in India ($8,988), Thailand ($11,085), Turkey ($13,110), out of 9 countries we compare.
How long will I stay in hospital for Neck Dissection (Lymphadenectomy)?
Most patients spend about 4 nights in hospital. Full recovery takes about 28 days; your surgeon will tell you when you are fit to fly home.
Will I have shoulder problems?
Some people have temporary shoulder weakness or stiffness from nerve stretch. Physiotherapy usually helps, and sparing the accessory nerve lowers risk.
Why is the skin numb?
Small sensory nerves in the neck skin are cut. Numbness around the ear and jaw is common and may improve slowly, though some remains.
Will the scar be visible?
The incision follows a skin crease where possible and fades with time, though it is noticeable at first.
Do I need radiotherapy afterwards?
Possibly. The number of positive nodes and features seen on pathology decide whether radiotherapy or chemoradiation is advised.
