We present a retrospective study performed to determine jugular patency after functional neck dissection (FND). Twenty-six patients, 16 females and 10 males, ranging in age from 16 to 78 were examined. These patients underwent either unilateral FND or bilateral FND for cervical lymph node metastases. Cervical duplex and pulsed Doppler imaging were chosen to determine internal jugular vein (IJV) patency. The examination was performed after a minimum postoperative period of 2 months and a maximum one of 22 years. Thirty-one IJVs were examined. All but 4 IJVs examined were found patent postoperatively. The preservation rate of patency of the IJV in FND was found to be high (27 of 31 or 87%). These results favor the use of FND for IJV preservation, particularly in bilateral neck dissection.

The objective of this study was to assess internal jugular vein performance after functional neck dissection in routine and extended head and neck surgical procedures, including bilateral neck dissections, treatment of radiation failures, and those combined with microvascular free grafts. Because the indications for functional neck dissection in our practice have increased, it is important to assess the use of the procedure in these circumstances. Although previous work has suggested the patency of the internal jugular vein after functional neck dissection, actual flow rates have not been investigated. The function of the dissected internal jugular vein was analyzed with duplex ultrasound at least 4 weeks after treatment. Maximal venous flow rates were evaluated. The results of this study will be presented and discussed.
