Lymph node metastasis stands out as the most influential prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell cancer. Although radical neck dissection was the initial method, over time, more selective neck dissection techniques which preserves more functions, have been introduced. The introduction of surgical endoscopy and robotic systems make selective neck dissection more feasible with hidden scar. This paper describes the details of the preparations and surgical procedures for endoscopic selective neck dissection (levels I, II, and III) through a retroauricular approach.
