Contents of Posterior triangle
Nerves: •Arteries
• Spinal acessory nerve. –Subclavian artery
• Great auricular –Transverse Cervical artery
• Lesser occipital –Suprascapular artery
• Branches of Cervical plexus
• Transverse cervical • Vein
• Supraclavicular –External jugular vein
• Roots and trunks of brachial (terminal part)
plexus.
• Dorsal scapular • Lymph Nodes
• Long thoracic –Occipital
• Phrenic –Supraclavicular
• Cervical lymph nodes are classified into groups
by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer centre in
the 1930’s
Level I: Lymph node groups – submental and
submandibular
• Level Ia*: Submentaltriangle
Boundaries – anterior bellies of the digastric
muscle and the hyoid bone
• Level Ib*: Submandibular triangle
Boundaries – body of the mandible,
anterior and posterior belly of the digastric
muscle
• Level II: Lymph node groups – upper jugular
Boundaries:
1) anterior – lateral border of the sternohyoid muscle
2) posterior – posterior border of thesternocleidomastoid
muscle
3) superior – skull base
4) inferior – level of the hyoid bone (clinical landmark) or
carotid bifurcation (surgicallandmark)
• Level III: Lymph node groups – middle jugular
Boundaries –
1)anterior – lateral border of the sternohyoid muscle
2) posterior – posterior border of the
sternocleidomastoid muscle
3) superior – hyoid bone (clinical landmark) or carotid
bifurcation (surgical landmark)
4) inferior – cricothyroid notch (clinical landmark)or
omohyoid muscle (surgical landmark)
• Level IV: Lymph node groups – lower jugular
Boundaries –
1) anterior – lateral border ofthe sternohyoid muscle
2) posterior – posterior border of thesternocleidomastoid
muscle
3) superior – cricothyroid notch (clinical landmark) oromohyoid
muscle (surgical landmark)
4) inferior – clavicle
• Level V: Lymph node groups – posterior triangle
Boundaries –
1)anterior – posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid
muscle
2) posterior – anterior border of the trapezius muscle
3) inferior - clavicle

Marginal Mandibular Nerve (ramusmandibularis)
• It runs obliquely
toward the midline
along the anterior
surface of the anterior
scalene muscle and is
covered by
prevertebral fascia
Hypoglossal Nerve
• The hypoglossal nerve is
the motor nerve of the
tongue. Its cell bodies
originate in then
hypoglossal nucleus in the
medulla oblongata.
• The nerve exits the skullvia
the hypoglossal canal of
the occipital bone.
• As it exits the canal it lies
deep to the IJV, the
internal carotid artery,and
CNIX, X, and XI
Ansa cervicalis
Thoracic Duct
• In the neck - lies anterior to the vertebral artery and vein,
the sympathetic trunk and the thyrocervical trunk.
• It is separated from the phrenic nerve by the prevertebral
fascia.
Presentation of Head & Neckcancers
• Apparent Primary with enlargednodes
- The N+ Neck
• Apparent Primary with normal neck
nodes - The N0 Neck
N2
N2a - Single ipsilateral lymph node 3-6cm
N2b- Multiple ipsilateral nodes < 6 cm
N2c - Bilateral lymph nodes < 6 cm
Indications:
• Selected cases of ca. Thyroid
• Parathyroid carcinoma
• Suglottic carcinoma
• Laryngeal carcinoma with subglottic extension
• Carcinoma of the cervicaloesophagus
SND: Posterolateral type
Definition: Enbloc excision of
lymph bearing tissues of level
II – V and additional node grps
– suboccipital , postauricular
Indications:
• Cutaneous malignancies –
Melanoma,SCC, Merkel cell
carcinoma
• Soft tissue sarcomas of scalp
and neck
Extended radical neck dissection

Complications
• Hemorrhage,shock
• Carotid Blow out – occurs in 7-14days
-due to sepsis,woundbreakdown,arterial
adventitious stripping and necrosis
• Flap necrosis
• Infection
• Lymph ooze
• Seroma formation
• Frozen shoulder
Conclusions
• Almost every Pt with Head and Neck Cancer needs
treatment of Neck
