[; THE RESULTS OF APPLICATION OF THE ADVANCED SUPRAGIOID AND SUPRAOMOGIOID NECK DISSECTION IN THE TREATMENT OF REGIONAL METASTASES OF MAXILLOFACIAL AREA CANCER].

The goal of research is to optimize the results of surgical treatment of the regional metastases of the maxillofacial area cancer by improving the technique of supragioid and supraomogioid neck dissection with its variants and substantiate the possibility of their application to the patients with malignant tumors of the maxillofacial area. 104 patients aged 7 to 86 years with malignant tumors of the maxillofacial area were examined, including cancer of the lower lip, oral mucosa, and salivary glands. The patients revealed 187 enlarged regional lymph nodes, which were removed in the course of surgery using advanced methods of supragioid and supraomogioid neck dissection. The proposed advanced neck dissection demonstrated high efficiency against regional metastases. In patients who have undergone surgery, the connection of the risk of regional recurrences with the presence of regional metastases has not been established.
