Cervical LN Excision
Cervical lymph node (LN) excision is a minor surgical procedure performed to remove a lymph node from the neck for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It is commonly recommended when a lymph node is persistently enlarged, painful, or suspicious in nature.
We provide safe, precise, and minimally invasive cervical lymph node excision with a focus on accurate diagnosis and patient comfort.
Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped glands that are part of the immune system. They help the body fight infections. Sometimes, lymph nodes in the neck (cervical region) become enlarged due to infection, inflammation, tuberculosis, or, in rare cases, tumors.
Cervical LN excision involves surgically removing the affected lymph node for laboratory examination (biopsy) to determine the exact cause.
Your doctor may advise this procedure if:
A neck lymph node remains enlarged for several weeks
The swelling is increasing in size
There is persistent pain or tenderness
There are associated symptoms like fever, weight loss, or night sweats
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) results are inconclusive
The procedure is usually performed under local or general anesthesia.
A small incision is made in the neck.
The enlarged lymph node is carefully removed.
The incision is closed with sutures.
The removed tissue is sent for histopathological examination to confirm the diagnosis.
