Removes a cancer of the ear canal together with a wide margin of the surrounding tissue and bone, and in the same operation clears the lymph nodes from the neck on that side. The neck is addressed because cancers of the ear canal can spread to those nodes. It is a long operation under general anesthesia requiring a hospital stay, and reconstruction is often needed afterward.
