Abstract
- Surgery remains a mainstay of treatment for head and neck cancer. Patients have significant comorbidities, and protracted surgery is associated with complications and may require a high-dependency nursing environment such as an intensive care or high-dependency unit postoperatively. The literature is reviewed to document the current evidence for early postoperative nursing care.
