Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Neck Dissection. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Neck dissection is a surgical operation that removes lymph nodes and surrounding fatty tissue from one or both sides of the neck, most commonly performed as part of treatment for head and neck cancers including cancers of the mouth, tongue, throat, voice box, thyroid, and salivary glands. The goal is to remove cancer cells that have spread or may spread to the cervical lymph nodes, to accurately stage the disease, and to guide decisions about further treatment such as radiation or chemotherapy. The extent of surgery varies: a selective neck dissection removes only specific lymph node levels while preserving the key nerve, vein, and muscle; a modified radical dissection removes all five lymph node levels but preserves one or more major structures; and a radical dissection removes all five levels along with the spinal accessory nerve, internal jugular vein, and sternocleidomastoid muscle, reserved for cases where cancer directly invades these structures. Most patients spend three to five days in hospital and begin shoulder physiotherapy shortly after surgery.
Only the lymph node levels most at risk for the specific cancer are removed, while the shoulder nerve, main neck vein, and sternocleidomastoid muscle are all preserved.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: CT scan of neck with contrast, MRI head and neck (if not recent), PET-CT scan (staging, if not recent), FNAC of neck node (if not yet confirmed), CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR and coagulation profile, ECG and anaesthetic fitness assessment. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,000 – $6,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~5 days
Hospitalisation: ~6 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~18 days recommended
Total stay: approx 29 days
