Resumen
Objetivo

Evaluar los resultados obtenidos con el uso de vaciamientos selectivos en pacientes con metástasis ganglionares clínicas en el momento del diagnóstico (N+)

Pacientes y métodos

Estudio retrospectivo de los pacientes N+ tratados con un vaciamiento selectivo lateral o supraomohioideo con finalidad profiláctica (lado de cuello N0) o terapéutica (lado de cuello N+)

Resultados

Se llevaron a cabo un total de 49 vaciamientos selectivos en 42 pacientes N+. En 18 ocasiones los vaciamientos tuvieron una finalidad profiláctica (lados de cuello N0) y en 31 terapéutica (lados de cuello N+). Treinta y nueve pacientes siguieron tratamiento con radioterapia postoperatoria. No se produjo una recidiva regional en ninguno de los lados de cuello tratados con un vaciamiento selectivo

Conclusión

Los vaciamientos selectivos en casos seleccionados de pacientes N+ son una técnica adecuada de cirugía cervical, y cuentan con la ventaja de minimizar el tiempo operatorio y la morbilidad asociada a la disección de las estructuras cervicales

Palabras clave:

Abstract
Objective

To evaluate the results obtained with selective neck dissection in patients with clinically positive neck nodes at diagnosis (N+)

Patients and methods

Retrospective study of N+ patients treated with a lateral or supromohyoid selective neck dissection with prophylactic purpose (sides of the neck N0) or therapeutic purpose (sides of the neck N+)

Results

Forty nine selective neck dissections were carried out in 42 N+ patients. In 18 cases the neck dissection had a prophylactic purpose (sides of the neck N0), and in 31 of them a therapeutic purpose (sides of the neck N+). In 39 patients surgery was followed by postoperative radiotherapy. There was no regional relapse in either side of the neck treated with a selective neck dissection

Conclusions

Selective neck dissections in selected N+ patients are an adequate surgical technique. The main advantages of selective neck dissections are to shorten the surgical time, and to avoid the morbility associated with the dissection of the neck zones not included

Key words:
Selective neck dissection
