“…Recently, Sakai et al, reporting the incidence of sublevel IIB metastases in patients with hypopharyngeal cancer, found involvement in 13.3% of the clinically positive necks and 0% of the clinically N0 necks. The authors concluded that sublevel IIB may be preserved during neck dissection in patients with clinically N0 hypopharyngeal cancer.…”

Neck dissection is an important treatment for metastases from upper aerodigestive carcinoma; an event that markedly reduces survival. Since its inception, the philosophy of the procedure has undergone significant change from one of radicalism to the current conservative approach. Furthermore, nonsurgical modalities have been introduced, and, in many situations, have supplanted neck surgery. The refinements of imaging the neck based on the concept of neck level involvement has encouraged new philosophies to evolve that seem to benefit patient outcomes particularly as this relates to diminished morbidity. The purpose of this review was to highlight the new paradigms for surgical removal of neck metastases using an evidence-based approach.

“…Level IIb lymph node pads may be left undissected so that spinal accessory nerve dysfunction is decreased and operative time reduced”. For hypopharyngeal cancer, Sakai et al 48 wrote: “The results suggest that preservation of level IIb during neck dissection was possible in N0 cases of hypopharyngeal cancer”.…”
