The anatomy of the head and neck is very complicated secondary to the numerous fine structures that have a variable course and depth as they traverse through the tissue. There are several very important neurovascular structures anatomically situated in the head and neck, which may suffer a potential injury during surgical dissection. The neck divides into subdivisions and compartments that aid in the organization and help make sense of this complex region. The anterior and posterior triangles are the two primary subdivisions and are delineated by easily recognized anatomic structures. Each triangle houses muscles, nerves, vasculature, lymphatics, and adipose tissue. The objective of this article is to provide an in-depth understanding of the anatomy of the triangles of the neck and to relate this information to relevant clinical and surgical considerations.
头颈部的解剖结构非常复杂，这是由于众多精细结构在穿过组织时具有不同的走行和深度。头颈部在解剖学上有几个非常重要的神经血管结构，在手术解剖过程中可能会受到潜在损伤。颈部可分为多个分区和腔隙，有助于组织的梳理并理解这个复杂区域。前后三角是两个主要分区，由易于识别的解剖结构界定。每个三角区内都包含肌肉、神经、血管、淋巴管和脂肪组织。本文的目的是深入了解颈部三角的解剖结构，并将这些信息与相关的临床和手术考虑因素联系起来。
