Neck incision for comprehensive neck dissection

Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Medical Science - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 9

Abstract

Over decades, a variety of incisions have been described for neck dissections. The current practice for neck dissection is to employ only a transverse incision along a suitable skin crease. We attempted a modification of Conley and Schobinger incisions avoiding a three point junction for two patients. We conclude that design of such a flap, if chosen to be done should be limited to the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid and not to extend beyond the middle two thirds of the sternocleidomastoid.
