Abstract

We report on the surgical results of spinal accessory nerve injuries between 1992–2003. We operated on 10 patients (9 female, and 1 male) who had injuries of the spinal accessory nerve. All injuries were iatrogenic. The mean age of patients was 39.2 years (range, 20–57 years). The average interval between date of injury and surgery was 7 months (range, 4–12 months). All patients had stiffness and pain in the shoulder girdle. The average active abduction of the shoulder joint was 79.5Β° (range, 60–100Β°) before surgery. End‐to‐end repairs were performed in 7 cases, and graft repairs were indicated in 3 cases. The mean follow‐up period was 18.4 months (range, 8–36 months). The average active abduction of the shoulder joint was 171Β° (range, 140–180Β°) at time of final follow‐up. Β© 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. Microsurgery, 2006.

## Abstract A new technique is described that preserves trapezius muscle function in radical neck surgery while cutting that part of the spinal accessory nerve which courses through the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The technique takes advantage of the little‐known fact that, in humans, the trapezius
