The incidence of squamous cell skin center is the second, after basocellular skin cancer. Surgical treatment is the first and most effective therapy for this tumor. The aim of study is to present experiences of Surgical clinic in Nis in treatment of squamous cell skin cancer in head and neck. During 10-year period (1990-2000) there were operated 346 patients with squamous cell skin cancer of head and neck. We performed wide surgical excision with clinical free margins of 5-10 mm, and more radical excision and reconstructions for advanced tumors. We registered postoperative complications in 14 (4.04%) patients. Early diagnose and adequate treatments of squamous cell skin cancer are prerequisite for good postoperative results and low complication rate.
