pubmed:abstractText |
The extent of neck dissection (ND) appropriate for necks yielding clinical evidence of metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is controversial. The need for level IIb lymph node (LN) dissection is particularly uncertain in view of its association with postoperative shoulder dysfunction. In the present study, we examined the frequency, pattern, and predictive factors of level IIb LN metastases in PTC patients with clinically positive lateral neck nodes.
