Description:
For all surgeons who manage patients with head and neck cancer, this
information-packed book offers both a new approach and a new philosophy of

procedures, and be better equipped to handle a wide range of complex clinical

Functional and Selective Neck Dissection begins with a full
explanation of the fascial compartmentalization of the neck, and goes on to
explain and illustrate the procedures. Step-by-step descriptions of functional
dissection surgeries, demonstrated with more than 200 high-quality, sequential
operative photographs and drawings, highlight and clarify all points.
