Avoidance of early complications following radical neck dissection.

Abstract

Multiple factors are associated with the increased risk of postoperative complications following radical neck dissection. Most significant of these are preoperative radiation and entry into the pharynx. The most common of these complications are discussed, and following is a description of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative methods to reduce them. Changes in operative methods and antibiotic coverage were associated with a decrease in wound infection and fistula formation. It is suggested that patients in high risk categories be covered with preoperative, prophylactic gram positive antibiotic coverage, along with Tobramycin.
