Abstract

During the past 25 years, 14 cases with head and neck cancer underwent bilateral ligation of the internal jugular vein. We studied complications, prognosis, surgical risks and clinical effect of bilateral ligation in these cases. There was no difference in complications and prognosis between the group of simultaneous bilateral ligation and that of separate ligation. It was suggested that bilateral ligation of the internal jugular vein was a feasible surgical approarch in selected cases.
