Abstract

A 64-year-old man underwent laryngectomy, partial pharyngectomy and right block dissection of the neck for a squamous cell carcinoma of the right pyriform fossa with an involved right neck node. He had received pre-operative radiotherapy. The operation was uneventful. A 'Drevac' wound drainage system (Astra Meditec) was inserted in each side of the neck.
