Resumo: | Head and neck cancer shows a high incidence in Brazil, with high morbidity and mortality rates. It frequently involves regional lymph nodes located in the cervical region, and this is one of the most important prognostic indicators. Cervical lymph node dissection is the most common surgical procedure in such cases and can be radical or modified, in the latter case preserving some functionally important structures for the neck. Radical cervical lymph node dissection leaves major aesthetic and functional sequelae in virtually all patients submitted to this operation, causing a painful syndrome and functional impairment of the ipsilateral upper limb. This complication is thus highly relevant for the physical therapist. The current study conducted a literature review to analyze the complications of this surgical procedure and demonstrate the importance of physical therapy in such cases. Despite the relatively limited body of research in the area, the literature review highlighted the importance of physical therapy for treating sequelae of cervical lymph node dissection, aimed at reducing pain, relieving discomfort, and improving the functional capacity of the shoulder and upper limb and consequently the patient's quality of life. |

Com freqüência, há o comprometimento dos linfonodos regionais, localizados na região cervical, e este é um dos indicativos prognósticos importantes nesses pacientes. O esvaziamento cervical é o procedimento cirúrgico mais utilizado, podendo ser realizado de forma radical ou modificado, este último preservando algumas estruturas de importância funcional para o pescoço. O esvaziamento cervical radical ocasiona uma seqüela estética e funcional importante em praticamente todos os pacientes submetidos a esta operação, levando a uma síndrome dolorosa e a perda funcional do membro superior ipsilateral ao procedimento, sendo esta uma complicação importante para o fisioterapeuta. Este estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura para analisar as complicações deste procedimento cirúrgico e demonstrar a importância da atuação da fisioterapia nestas condições. Através deste estudo, pode-se verificar que os recursos fisioterapêuticos são de grande importância para o tratamento das seqüelas do esvaziamento cervical, mesmo com a escassez de pesquisas na área, os quais têm por objetivo reduzir a dor, minimizar o desconforto, melhorar a funcionalidade da cintura escapular e do membro superior acometido, e conseqüentemente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.INCA2007-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/183010.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2007v53n1.1830Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 53 No. 1 (2007): Jan./Feb./Mar.; 55-61Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 53 Núm. 1 (2007): ene./feb./mar.; 55-61Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 53 n. 1 (2007): jan./fev./mar.; 55-612176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1830/1110Mozzini, Carolina BarretoSchuster, Rodrigo CostaMozzini, André Robertoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:26:32Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/1830Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:26:32Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false |
