  • Objectives : In $CO_2$ laser surgery for supraglottic cancer, neck dissection is generally done in second stage. We investigated simultaneous neck dissection with primary resection could be available in laser supraglottic surgery. Material and Methods : We analyzed 13 patients with supraglottic cancer who were treated with transoral supraglottic laryngectomy and simultaneous neck dissection from 2001 to 2007. Tumor stage, extent of laser surgery, histological results, survival rate, local control rate, complications, and functional results were reviewed. Results : 5-year local control rate, survival rate and disease specific survival rate from the neck was 100%, 69.9%, 100% respectively. Tracheotomy was done in all 13 cases. One patient had a long tracheotomy indwelling (191 days). In the rest of 12 patients average decanulation time was 7.4 days(1-22 days). Nasogastric tube was inserted in 5 cases, and average oral intake was possible in 3.5 days(1-16 days). Average hospital days was 29.7 days. There was no serious complication associated with neck dissection. Conclusion : Simultaneous neck dissection with primary laser resection for supraglottic cancer is oncologic sound and can be performed without significant surgical morbidity.

  • Hypopharyngeal perforation secondary to tracheal intubation is rare, but may result in severe airway complications that include retropharyngeal abscess, pneumothorax, pneumonia, mediastinitis and death. The most common site of hypopharyngeal perforation is the pyriform sinus and the region of the cricopharyngeus muscle. We report a 62-year old man with intubation-induced hypopharyngeal injury presenting as deep neck infection. The patient presented with dyspnea and pain on the neck. Neck CT scan identified fluid and air collection on the neck from the hyoid bone to the thoracic inlet level. Despite of delayed diagnosis, we successfully operated him by using strap muscle myofascial transposition flap. The patient was followed up for 3 months without any complications.

  • PURPOSE: Despite the widespread occurrence in the general population, few studies have directly evaluated the effects of shingles on non-specific neck pain (NSNP). This study investigated whether sensory training or therapeutic stretching exercises are more effective in increasing neck mobility and reducing neck pain in chronic NSNP patients. METHODS: Eighty-one subjects aged between 20 and 32 years with chronic neck pain (> six months), were allocated randomly to three groups: sensorimotor training group (STG), therapeutic stretching group (TSG), and home exercise group (HEG). All participants received a half-hour training session, three times weekly for six weeks. The outcomes were evaluated using the neck disability index for measuring neck pain, and a universal goniometer to measure the cervical passive range of motion before and after the six-week intervention. RESULTS: The post-test neck disability index scores in the STG (t = 4.86) and TSG (t = 3.24) were decreased significantly (p < .05). The passive range of motion changes in all cervical movements in the STG was increased significantly (p < .05) after intervention compared to those in the other two groups. CONCLUSION: Sensorimotor training using chin tuck exercises may improve neck pain and mobility in subjects with chronic NSNP.

  • To examine the changes in pain, the severity of the neck disorder, craniovertebral angle, and muscle activity in young adults with forward head posture. 37 "N" University students in their 20s with forward head posture, including both male and female participants. Measurement of pain, NDI (neck disorder index) craniovertebral angle, and muscle activity were taken before and after the 6 week intervention period. The pain was measured using the visual analog scale. The severity of the neck disorder was measured using the NDI The craniovertebral angle was measured by taking a photo. The muscle activity was measured using surface electromyography. Neck posture correction exercises paired with proprioceptive training is the most effective intervention for reducing pain. Both neck posture correction exercises paired with Kinesio taping or proprioceptive training are effective interventions for addressing neck disability, craniocervical angle, and muscle activity. Neck posture correction exercises paired with Kinesio taping or proprioceptive training are more effective at addressing pain, neck disorder, craniocervical angle, and muscle activity than performing the neck posture correction exercises alone.

  • Background: Free flaps have become a very important role in the ablative head and neck surgery with functional preservation of defect sites. The forearm free flap has many advantage of lack of bulk, ease of dissection, vascularity, and malleability. Patients and Methods: A review of 51 radial forearm free flaps performed between may 1990 and feburary 2001 at the Korea University was undertaken to determine outcome. Patient age ranged 27 to 72 years (mean 56). There were 44 men and 7 women. The most prevalent neoplasm was squamous cell carcinoma. Results: The tans verse cervical artery and the external jugular vein were the most frequent receipient sites for microvascular anastomosis. Total flap loss occurred in 2 cases (4%) and other complications were seen in 42%. Fifteen patients received preoperative irradiation and the complication was higher than non-irradiation patients, but statistically not significant. Conclusion: The radial forearm free flap offers a variety of reconstructive options for head and neck. Its low flap loss and complication rates offer the best choice for reconstruction of defect of head and neck malignancy.

  • Background and Objectives: Recently the tenn 'papillary microcarcinoma' has been proposed to designate carcinoma of 10 mm or less in diameter. In some cases, cervical lymph node metastasis preceding the occurrence of the primary tumor may be the first and sole manifestation of the disease. The objective of this study is to assess the clinical features of cervical metastasis in papillary microcarcinoma of thyroid glands. Materials and Methods: 9 cases with papillary microcarcinoma with neck metastasis were analyzed retrospectively. 5 cases are men and 4 are women. All patients complained of painless, movable neck mass. The symptom had been present from 1 month to 36 months. We reviewed clinical history, imaging studies, the results of fine needle aspiration, the surgical method, the pathologic results. Results: In 9 cases, no abnormalities of the thyroid gland were shown by imaging studies and thyroid scan. 3 cases were diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. the others were not. Total thyroidectomy and neck dissection were performed in 9 cases and then pathology reports showed 2 case of multiple, 2 case of contralateral single and 5 cases of unilateral single thyroid microcarcinoma. They have no recurrence during follow-up period. Conclusions: Cervical metastasis from papillary microcarcinoma is variable clinical manifestation. The diagnosis of cervical metastasis from papillary microcarcinoma should be considered in patient with neck mass. We recommend total thyroidectomy with neck dissection and postoperative radioactive iodine ablation therapy in neck metastasis from papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.

  • Background and objectives : There may be frequent lymphatic neck metastasis among supraglottic cancer patients after their primary surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic neck dissections in supraglottic cancer patients to lower the neck metastasis. Material and method : The authors retrospectively reviewed medical records of 52 patients (7 females. 45 males) who had received the operations for the supraglottic cancer from 1995 to 2000. They were preoperatively examined with Computer Tomographic images, and also examined by the cervical neck palpations. Postoperative pathologic specimens were reviewed and the Pathologic stagings were confirmed by the pathologist. Results : Among 52 patients who received surgery for supraglottic carcinoma, 5 patients received ipsilateral neck dissection, 12 patients received ipsilateral neck dissection with postoperative radiation therapy, 10 Patients received bilateral neck dissection and 25 patients received bilateral neck dissection with postoperative radiation treatment. In comparison of the data of N0 to N+ conversion rate of neck, there were 11 ipsilateral T3 N0 patients and 2 patients(18%) were converted to N+ status, and there were 8 Patients with T4 N0 stages, and 3 patients(38%) were converted to N+ status. In comparing the data of contralateral neck dissection on N0 patient, there were 8 patients of T3 N0 patients, and there was 1 patient (13%) who showed recurrence. There were 5 patients of T4 N0 stages and there was 1(20%) patient with recurrences. When the ipsilateral N stages were N2a, and N2b, there 1 case of contraleral N+ conversions, respectively. In recurrences, there were 2 patients of N2b staged patients and 1 patient of N2c patient that showed recurrence during the follow up period. Conclusion : This data shows that at least an ipsilateral neck dissection is necessary in order to prevent the recurrences, and also suggests that bilateral neck dissection is necessary for the higher T stage. Since the higher N staged patients showed higher rate of recurrence, so that neck dissection is mandatory for the higher N staged patients.

  • Background: Supraglottic and hypopharyngeal regions drain into the upper deep cervical lymph nodes. And bilateral neck node metastasis is frequently occured especially, in the early stage. It influences on the prognosis of above diseases. The prognosis for patients wih supraglottic and hypopharyngeal cancers, although usually poor, has improved by modern imaging technique, better application of treatment modalities, increasing assortment of reconstructive procedures and improved application of radiation therapy. Objectives: This study was designed to obtain objective data about the patterns of neck node metastasis and to identify the necessity of elective bilateral neck dissection. Material and Methods: Twenty four patients with supraglottic cancer and twenty six patients with hypopharyngeal cancer were investigated from the chart review. Results: In supraglottic cancer, the most frequent sites of neck metastasis is level II (52.9%) and level III (52.9%) in ipsilateral side, level II (29.4%) in contralateral side, in hypopharyngeal cancer, level II (73.7%) and III (52.6%) in ipsilateral side, level II (10.5%) in contralateral side. In elective neck dissection, the occult metastasis is about 50% in supraglottic cancer, but there is no occult metastasis in hypopharyngeal cancer. Conclusion: In supraglottic cancer, elective bilateral neck dissection is necessary because of early contralateral neck metastasis, but in hypopharyngeal cancer, elective contralateral neck dissection may not be always necessary because of rare occult metastasis and contralateral neck metastasis.

  • Backgrounds and Objectives : Most patients with neck schwannomas are asymptomatic. Surgical management of neck schwannomas could cause various complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the necessity of surgical management in all of the neck schwannoma patients. Material and Methods : Thirty-four patients diagnosed and undergone surgical management as neck schwannomas and 30 patients diagnosed and observed closely by OPD base from 1996 to 2005 were included. The medical records were reviewed retrospectively. Results : In surgical management group, mean age was 39.3 years and mean size of tumors was 4.4cm. Twenty-five patients had their tumors at parapharyngeal space, 2 at anterior neck and 7 at lateral neck. Nerves of origin were vagus nerve in 12 patients, cervical sympathetic chain in 11. Presenting symptoms were neck mass in 22 patients and no symptom in 9. On the other hand, in close observation group, mean age was 47.1 years and mean size of tumor was 3.7cm. Seventeen patients had their tumors at parapharyngeal space, 5 at anterior neck and 8 at lateral neck. Presenting symptoms were neck mass in 13 patients and no symptom in 13. There were no patients with neurologic complications. Mean follow-up duration was 38.2 months and there were only 2 patients whose size of tumors was increased and no patients who had newly emerged symptoms. Conclusion : Neck schwannomas grows slowly, has little chance of malignant transformation, but can complicate serious problems after surgical management. Therefore close observation could be considered in many asymptomatic patients.
