==History of neck dissections== * 1906 β [[George Washington Crile|George W. Crile]] of the [[Cleveland Clinic]] describes the radical neck dissection. The operation encompasses removal of all the lymph nodes on one side of the neck, and includes removal of the [[Accessory nerve|spinal accessory nerve]] ('''SAN'''), [[internal jugular vein]] ('''IJV''') and [[sternocleidomastoid muscle]] ('''SCM'''). * 1957 β Hayes Martin describes routine use of the radical neck dissection for control of neck metastases. * 1967 β Oscar Suarez and E. Bocca describe a more conservative operation that preserves SAN, IJV and SCM. * Last 3 decades β Further operations have been described to selectively remove the involved regional lymph groups.
