external jugular vein can be moved to locations near the recipient artery (i.e., the superior thyroid artery, transcervical artery, or lingual artery), which makes venous anastomosis easier. This communication highlights the possible application of the external jugular vein anastomosis under the sternocleidomastoid muscle technique in head and neck reconstruction. Although further clinical investigation will be required to confirm its efficacy, this method may be useful for venous anastomosis to the external jugular vein. DOI: 10.1097/PRS.0000000000005238
