Abstract
Postoperative hypertension after radical neck dissection was detected in 20.2% of 109 neck dissections in our department between 1989 and 1993. It was probably caused by carotid sinus denervation and appeared after the vasodilation generated by anesthesia had subsided. If postoperative hypertension was encountered after the first operation, the risk of such hypertension after surgery on the contralateral side significantly increased.
