The incidence of occult level IV nodal metastasis in tongue squamous cell carcinoma: a 20 year review.

Background: The extent of neck dissection for tongue SCC is unclear owing to the potential presence of occult level IV metastasis. We aim to assess the incidence of occult level IV nodal metastasis for tongue SCC patients treated in our centre over a 20 year period.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of data collected from 1999 to 2019 was performed.

Clinical decision making for abdominal stab wounds in high resourced but low volume centres require structured guidelines to be effective.

Aim: The management of abdominal stab wounds (SW) has continued to evolve. The use of CT and laparoscopy has been advocated to reduce the rate of laparotomy. This study reviews our experience with SW in a high income, low volume setting.
