[Bilateral neck dissection and venous reconstruction with internal saphenous vein in cancer of the larynx].
Radical neck dissection (RND) is a surgical procedure for treating patients with cervical metastatic adenopathies generally dues to head and neck tumours. Since Crile, in 1906, began this technique, because of the important postoperative complications noticed, related to disturbances of the venous return when the dissection was bilateral, was suggested a 15 days-term between the two operations. We have verified that it is much better to reconstruct the blood drainage through a venous graft simultaneously. This is a useful technique already described in the literature. We contribute with one case.
