Intraoperative needle localization during neck reexploration - 25/08/11
Abstract |
Background |
Recurrent cervical adenopathy can be difficult to identify intraoperatively during a neck reexploration. Although local preoperative imaging techniques are available, these are not useful in the operative theater.
Methods |
We introduce an intraoperative technique of ultrasound-guided needle localization to identify and guide the resection of suspicious cervical lymphadenopathy.
Conclusions |
This intraoperative approach to localizing the suspicious lymph node under ultrasound-guided needle localization makes surgical extirpation of lymph node metastasis easy.
