Abstract

A computerized Ovid search of MEDLINE 1966-September 2003 was performed. The term “neck dissection” was exploded and cross-referenced with articles containing the keywords “selective” or “supraomohyoid” Next, these articles were cross-referenced with articles obtained by exploding the following terms: “head and neck neoplasms” “mouth neoplasms,” “otorhinolaryngologic neoplasms,” and “pharyngeal neoplasms.” The resulting 141 articles were reviewed to determine if they met our inclusion criteria. We required: 1) a distinct population of patients with previous untreated oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma with N0 necks, 2) intervention with ipsilateral or bilateral supraomohyoid neck dissection (SND) compared with modified radical neck dissection (MRND), and 3) outcome measures of regional recurrence and survival. In addition, the reference lists of included articles and all review articles that were obtained were manually checked to ensure that all known relevant articles were included.
