- Abstract
The author reflects on the proposal for a rational nomenclature of neck dissections. He mentions that it is important to have precise classification for different types of neck dissection for research and clinical purposes. He adds that techniques in neck dissection have evolved, however, this was applied less globally. He notes that the lack of international acceptance needs an international nomenclature for cervical nodal groups and neck dissections.
