Abstract

The purpose of this manuscript is to add some more information in the present scientific literature on these nearly forgotten triangles of surgical importance. The neck is an area that lends itself to anatomical geometry, such as triangles. Many triangles of the neck have been described, and some are well‑known, yet, some have been nearly forgotten, i.e., Lesser’s triangle, Farabeuf triangle, Pirogoff’s triangle, and Beclard’s triangle. From the anatomic and surgical point of view, the neck is an amazingly interesting place. It is like a connection where crucial functional units meet and pass. Added surgical landmarks are always helpful to the surgeon while dealing with the neck. Described triangles of neck in this article are always reliable and constant landmarks for head and neck surgeons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
