The operation described consists of an anatomic en bloc dissection of posterior and deep cervical lymphatic channels and nodes. The procedure is cosmetically and functionally acceptable and provides adequate clearance of lymphatics from the posterior part of the neck. It is recommended for selected malignant cutaneous lesions of the parietal, occipital and mastoid scalp and of the skin of the posterior part of the neck.
