Abstract
In 42 patients, a hockey-stick incision was used as standard approach in unilateral neck dissection. This approach permits a good overview o f all structures in the neck and allows en bloc resection with intraor al tumor removal. The incision does not interfere with simultaneous re construction by pedicled or free flaps. and results in a scar which is barely visible and easily covered.
