A neck dissection is a surgical procedure performed to remove lymph nodes and surrounding tissue in the neck, often as part of treatment for head and neck cancer. The extent of the surgery depends on the condition being treated and is performed under general anesthesia.

After Surgery

Temporary swelling, stiffness, or numbness in the neck may occur. Most patients gradually return to normal activities over several weeks. Follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring healing and ongoing care.
