Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients show a high rate of cervical lymphatic metastasis. However, there are no universal binding guidelines for the extent of lateral cervical lymph node dissection (LND) in such cases. In particular, the need for LND above the spinal accessory nerve (SAN) remains controversial. The present study examined whether level IIb lymph node (LN) dissection is always necessary in PTC patients with lateral cervical LN metastasis.
