Background: Although preserved internal jugular veins can become occluded after neck dissection, we have not experienced free jejunal flap necrosis when the veins were used as recipient vessels. Thus, we investigated whether using the internal jugular veins as the recipient vessel for free jejunal flap transfer after neck dissection might contribute to postoperative internal jugular vein patency.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved patients who underwent internal jugular vein-preserving neck dissection for hypopharyngeal malignant tumors.

A case of a 60-year-old male patient with thyroid cancer invading the trachea was presented in the current study. After the initial surgery via a sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) clavicular periosteal flap for tracheal reconstruction, the patient experienced flap necrosis. Subsequent debridement and tracheocutaneostomy were performed, followed by a successful repair of the tracheal defect using a platysma myocutaneous flap.
