It is essential to early diagnosis of complications, the best time yet in operation, which will help prevent many later, an extremely serious metabolic complications associated with loss of tissue fluid, such as electrolyte imbalance, hypovolaemia, hypoalbuminemia, hypoproteinemia, hypovolaemia, lymphopenia, immunosuppression and others, leading sometimes to death. Aim: To assess the incidence of cervical lymphorrhoea in patients who have undergone neck surgery and assessment of risk factors for this complication, and a review of methods of treatment.
