Abstract

Objectives: To analyze the incidence and preventive measures of complications of modified Schobinger incision in neck dissection (ND). Methods: From January 1994 to December 2012, 429 cases of ND in primary oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with modified Schobinger incision was performed and retrospectively reviewed. Results: Of the 429 cases, postoperative complications occurred in 71 cases (16.55%). The most common complication was salivary fistula (6.29%), followed by damage of facial nerve of mandibular branch (3.96%). There were no deaths and serious complications. Conclusion: Modified Schobinger incision is reliable and safe for ND in OSCC.
