Studies of this kind can be hard to generalise from, but it seems that robot assisted selective neck dissection by a postauricular facelift approach can achieve good tumour clearance with improved cosmetic results.

The trial recruited 120 patients and lasted just five weeks, during which “65% reported adequate relief with ondansetron but not placebo compared with 14% reporting relief with placebo but not ondansetron, relative risk 4.7, 95% CI 2.6 to 8.5, P
