We reported in 1980 the course of the great auricular nerve from the perspective of the surgeon performing rhytidectomy using the platysma flap operation. Since the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) operation has become increasingly popular during the interim, we reviewed the course of the nerve with regard to our current operative dissection. We found, in both clinical cases and anatomical specimens, that the great auricular nerve is deep enough to allow safe division of the SMAS along the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
1980年，我们从使用颈阔肌皮瓣手术进行除皱术的外科医生的角度报告了耳大神经的走行。在此期间，由于表浅肌肉腱膜系统（SMAS）手术越来越受欢迎，我们根据当前的手术解剖情况对该神经的走行进行了重新审视。我们在临床病例和解剖标本中均发现，耳大神经位置足够深，沿胸锁乳突肌前缘安全分离SMAS是可行的。
