2. A neck dissection of at least the ipsilateral sub-level 1B will be performed in all patients. In case of oral cavity tumors, about 15 minutes prior to the surgery, 1ml of Lymphazurin® blue dye will be injected in 4 quadrants around the primary site. The dissection will be performed in 3 stages. In the first stage all lymph node groups that lie either lateral, anterior, posterior, superior, or inferior to the submandibular gland, but within anatomical boundaries of level 1B, will be dissected. The submandibular gland will be left intact for this portion of the procedure. Next, the submandibular gland will be removed. Lastly, any remaining fibrofatty tissue that lies deep to the submandibular gland within the confines of level IB will be removed. Each lymph node group, the submandibular gland, and the fibrofatty tissue lying deep to the submandibular gland, will be submitted for pathological assessment in separate containers.
