Although there is an agreement that levels II to IV need to be cleared in these patients, the clearance of level V is debatable.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Objectives\u2003We herein have tried to analyze various papers that have documented a structured approach to neck dissection in these patients. Moreover, we have also tried to consider this issue through various aspects, like spinal accessory nerve injury and the impact of neck recurrence on survival.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Data Synthesis\u2003The PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER), and Ovid databases were searched for studies written in English that focused on lateral neck dissection (levels II\u2013IV or II\u2013V) for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Case reports with 10 patients or less were excluded.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusions\u2003The current evidence is equivocal whether to clear level V or not, and the studies published on this issue are very heterogeneous. Level II-IV versus level II-V selective neck dissections in node-positive papillary thyroid carcinoma patients is far from categorical, with pros and cons for both approaches. Hence, we feel that there is a need for more robust homogeneous data in order to provide an answer to this question.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1608909","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,13]],"date-time":"2017-12-13T23:45:11Z","timestamp":1513208711000},"page":"449-454","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Level V Clearance in Neck Dissection for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Need for Homogeneous Studies"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Azhar","family":"Battoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology (Head and Neck Services), Sher i Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zahoor","family":"Sheikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, Sher i Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Krishnakumar","family":"Thankappan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Head and Neck Surgical Oncology, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Cochin, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdul","family":"Mir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, Sher i Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Altaf","family":"Haji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Head Surgical Oncology, Sher i Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,13]]},"container-title":["International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0037-1608909.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,6]],"date-time":"2019-05-06T21:11:02Z","timestamp":1557177062000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0037-1608909"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,13]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"04","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,22]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0037-1608909","relation":{},"ISSN":["1809-9777","1809-4864"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1809-9777","type":"print"},{"value":"1809-4864","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,13]]}}}
