• Anterior division:
joins the facial vein
• Posterior division:
pierces deep fascia and

POSTERIOR AURICULAR VEIN
Arises in a parieto-occipital
network.
Begins in a posterior
network in the scalp.
In suboccipital triangle,
joins the deep cervical

LIGATION OF FACIAL VEIN
◇ The Common facial, (anterior) Facial and Ranine veins are encountered during
Submandibular gland excision.
◇ The facial vein is ligated and divided where it crosses the Submandibular gland.
TRANSCERVICAL APPROACH
INDICATIONS
• Measurement of central venous
pressure
❖ Bilateral Ligation
❖ Lower end ligation
Before tying any ligatures, the vagus and hypoglossal nerve should be
identified and preserved.
The vein is mobilized using right angled Lahey forceps, non absorbable
sutures are placed to facilitate ligation.
Patients who need bilateral ligation of the internal jugular veins should
be investigated preoperatively with digital subtraction angiography.
Internal jugular vein on the most involved site is ligated in the first stage.
The Internal jugular vein on the less involved side should be isolated as a
structure within the carotid complex, ligate its various branches and
carry out the neck dissection
After a gap of two weeks the other Internal jugular vein is ligated.
Venous drainage post Internal jugular vein ligation
◇A healthy flap appears well perfused- bleeds on fine prick- PRICK TEST
◇Signs of flap failure- occurs due to inadequate venous drainage and insufficient arterial supply
◇The flap edges and margins start appearing dark, pale, dusky
MANAGEMENT OF BLEEDING
• Secondary to trauma,
• Congenital in origin
or diseases involving
veins.

Treatment :
Endovascular Embolization

VEIN GRAFTING
CONCLUSION
Venous supply is responsible for the drainage of the blood into the right atrium of
the heart which maintains the venous pressure of the head and neck region.
The absence of valves and muscles in the veins of head and neck causes infections
to spread in the retrograde direction leading to complications like thrombosis.
The Jugular veins and its tributaries form the primary venous drainage of head
and neck. As these are surrounded by many important anatomic structures so
care should be taken to preserve these veins during any surgical manipulation
of surrounding structures
