Abstract

In 1847,Warren reported on an experimental surgical resection of a carcinoma in the neck [1]. A more detailed surgical technique was described 33 years later by Kocher, who explained lymph node dissection from the submandibular triangle in the context of access to the operative treatment of carcinomas of the tongue [2]. In 1885, Butlin described dissection of the cervical lymph nodes in the context of resection of a carcinoma of the tongue. In a book entitled Modern Surgery,which appeared in 1887, the resection of cervical lymph nodes was described as part of the surgical therapy for epidermoid carcinoma of the head and neck. Descriptions of lymph node dissections, including resection of the internal jugular vein and the carotid artery, were published by Langenbeck. Unfortunately, both patients treated with this last method died postoperatively [3].
