Major bleeding associated with sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) involves vessels such as the inferior alveolar, facial, and maxillary arteries and veins, and the retromandibular vein (RMV). The present study aimed to clarify and classify the three-dimensional variations in RMV position and course direction in relation to the mandible. Specimens comprised a total of 15 scientific cadavers, and the relationship between RMV and the mandible lateral and posterior views was observed. We identified 3 patterns on the lateral view, the mean distance between the RMV and the posterior border of the ramus was 3.9 mm at the height of the lingula. A total of five course patterns were identified on the posterior view. In no course pattern, the RMV inferior to the lingula was lateral to its position superior to the lingual. The present findings suggest that it may be possible to predict correlations with intraoperative bleeding risk. Further study is planned using contrast computed tomography in patients with jaw deformity for skeletal classification.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates variations in surgical management for benign deep lobe parotid tumors (BDLPT) by analyzing 75 patients treated at Peking University from 2014 to 2020, focusing on their imaging features and surgical approaches.
- - BDLPTs were categorized into four distinct types based on their anatomical relationships, influencing the choice of surgical methods, which included techniques like transmandibular and transparotid approaches.
- - The research concludes that classifying BDLPT provides essential insights for planning preoperative treatment, indicating that different tumor types require tailored surgical strategies.

Article Synopsis
- Success in skeletal surgery relies on effective access to skeletal structures, with the retromandibular approach used to reach the ramus condyle region by navigating around facial nerve branches.
- A study of 30 cadaveric facial halves utilized a retromandibular incision, measuring accessibility and safety windows, revealing significant variability in visibility across specimens.
- Findings indicate that while most specimens provided good surgical access to important areas, risks to facial nerve integrity are present, highlighting the importance of understanding individual anatomical differences in surgical planning.

Introduction: Conventional nasolabial flap has been widely used for reconstruction for head and neck defects. Recent decades witnessed modification of this flap like islanded version based on subcutaneous pedicle or facial artery and vein. The later modification obviated a need for pedicle division, secondary procedures and facilitates reach of the flap to distant sites.

Objectives: This report presents a rare anatomical variation, double fenestration of the External jugular vein on the right side.
Materials And Methods: During the routine dissection of a male cadaver aged 60 years, we observed a unilateral large double fenestration of the External jugular vein on the right side.
Results: After its formation from the posterior division of the retromandibular and posterior auricular veins, External jugular vein descended in the posterior triangle of neck.
