loss and transfusion rates in neck dissections (ND) for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.Method: Fifty four patients (27 HS group and 27 CT group) who underwent tumour resection and ND with primary head and neck cancer were enrolled in this study.The variables analysed wereHemoglobin and haematocritbpreoperatively, day 1 post operatively and day 7 postoperatively.Units of blood transfused.The results were analysed using the student t test Result: The drop in haemoglobin on 7th postoperative day in the HS group on average was 2.833 vs 2.648 in the CT group (p¼ 0.675) and there was no statistically significant difference in the haematocrit value between the HS group and the CT group 0.0782 vs. 0.0749 (p¼0.785).Conclusions: The HS is a relatively safe and effective alternative method for ND.The HS did not significantly reduce the blood loss or transfusion rates in our group of patients that underwent surgical treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
