John D. Casler, M.D., an otolaryngologist at Mayo Clinic in Florida, explains the procedure to remove lymph nodes that are involved or potentially involved with cancer. Approximately one-third of the lymph nodes in our body are contained in the neck with many important structures found within or within close proximity. Your surgeon will advise you as to the extent of your surgery, hospitalization, recovery time and any additional treatment(s) required since these factors vary significantly from patient to patient.
