[The surgical management of the carotid artery involved with the head and neck cancer].
To discuss the possibility of resection of the carotid artery involved with head and neck cancer without reconstruction. 5 cases of tumor fixed to segment of the carotid artery block were resected, among them 4 without reconstruction and only 1 artery anastomosed.
