The most common malignant tumor in the oral region is squamous cell carcinoma (scc). The best treatment option of scc is known as surgical treatment combined with radiotherapy/chemotherapy. When deciding on the type of neck dissection (nd), the TNM classification should be considered. The purpose of this study; to describe nd procedures in oral scc and to illustrate procedures. 9 oral scc patients who were admitted and treated between 2016-2019, were presented. Unilateral elective subraomohyoid nd was performed in 7 patients. Unilateral therapeutic modified radical(functional) nd was performed in one patient. Bilateral therapeutic modified radical(functional) nd was performed in one patient. Choosing neck dissection procedures with the correct indication not only reduces the risk of microinvasion, but also reduces postoperative morbidity. Elective nd is performed in N0 patients to rule out the risk of microinvasion. In N+ patients, ipsilateral therapeutic nd can be combined with contralateral elective nd.
