The pace of progress in head and neck surgery is rapid and can be bewildering to practitioners and students alike. As education is one of the major missions of Head & Neck, this new series is devoted to a comprehensive discussion of basic anatomical concepts manifested in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients with diseases of the head and neck. Although the anatomy of the head and neck region as related to surgical procedures will certainly be discussed, this will by no means be the only subject addressed. Other topics include the anatomic basis for specific pain syndromes encountered in patients with cancer of the head and neck, structural and lymphatic anatomy demonstrating patterns of disease spread, and constraints to standard surgical procedures because of anatomic "barriers." As medical illustration is an extremely important aspect of anatomy education, a concerted effort will be made to present material with illustrations that are understandable, clear, and concise. It is hoped that these subjects will not only educate but will also engender other topics of interest to readers. I welcome your suggestions for appropriate topics, as well as original contributions in keeping with the series guidelines.
头颈外科的发展步伐迅速，这可能会让从业者和学生都感到困惑。由于教育是《头颈》杂志的主要使命之一，这个新系列致力于全面讨论在头颈疾病患者的诊断、治疗和护理中体现的基本解剖学概念。虽然与手术操作相关的头颈区域解剖学肯定会被讨论，但这绝不是唯一涉及的主题。其他主题包括头颈癌患者中遇到的特定疼痛综合征的解剖学基础、显示疾病传播模式的结构和淋巴解剖学，以及由于解剖学“屏障”对标准手术操作的限制。由于医学插图是解剖学教育的一个极其重要的方面，我们将齐心协力以易懂、清晰和简洁的插图来呈现材料。希望这些主题不仅能起到教育作用，还能引发读者感兴趣的其他话题。我欢迎您提出合适主题的建议，以及符合本系列指南的原创稿件。
