Abstract
Salvage neck dissection describes removing cervical lymph nodes and disease following definitive radiation. Unique challenges include a fibrotic field with disease that is frequently more advanced than surgery in the primary setting. The surgical approach may vary depending on the extent of locoregional disease. Review of clinical data is necessary to design a surgical plan. Special considerations include having a reconstructive plan, if needed, for soft tissue reconstruction and great vessel coverage.
