146 CAROTID TREATMENT: PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES

Platysma with Michel Clips
Shown are initial stages of wound opening for CEA. I inltrate the skin with 1% xylocaine with 1:200,000 parts of epinephrine to reduce supercial bleeding. The skin is then opened sharply down to the level of the platysma, which is left intact. Michel clips are applied to hold sponges all along the wound edge before the platysma is opened. This technique allows the platysma to be closed at the end of the procedure without removing the clips and thus prevents troublesome skin bleeding during platysmal closure. As the platysma is opened sharply, the rst blunt Weitlaner retractor is placed in the eld to hold the skin edges apart; the handle is typically placed caudally so it will not interfere with the surgeon’s right hand.
This gure of a left-sided CEA shows the platysma sharply divided in preparation for exposing the under­lying sternocleidomastoid muscle.

External Jugular Vein
After dissecting through the platysma muscle and as the leading edge of the sternomastoid muscle is exposed, often the external jugular vein will be encountered at the superior end of the incision. A robust example of this vein is shown here (by the vascular forceps). It can be readily dispatched with circumferential dissection, fol­lowed by Weck clip application to each end and bipolar coagulation between the clips, after which it is sharply divided.

Sternocleidomastoid Muscle
Exposure of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is the key to successfully isolating both the jugular vein and carotid artery in the neck. Once the platysma has been sharply divided, a fatty layer is customarily encountered overly­ing the sternocleidomastoid edge. Dissection proceeds straight down along this fat until the edge of the muscle is clearly identied. There is no need to expose its entire belly, but rather the edge must be dissected out and pulled laterally. Ultimately, this process exposes the jugular vein and leads to the carotid artery. At this point, a second blunt Weitlaner retractor is introduced vertically in the eld to spread the incision in a caudal-cephalad direction and it also serves as a fulcrum over which the silk sutures can later be hung when the vessels are isolated. It is important to note that the rst blunt Weitlaner retractor (holding the skin edges apart) may be deeply placed under both the sternocleidomastoid muscle and jugular vein on the lateral side but must be kept supercial on the medial side to avoid injury to the nerves in this region. It should be particularly noted that only blunt retrac­tors are used in this area to avoid inadvertent injury to the major vessels of the neck.
The reader should note that we now use a ring retractor and sh-hooks instead of xed Weitlaner retractors (see Fig. 4-19).

Jugular Vein—Common Facial Vein
The internal jugular vein lies beneath the sternocleidomastoid muscle. As dissection proceeds in the wound and the sternocleidomastoid muscle is held back with retractor No. 1, the jugular vein comes into view. Dissec­tion proceeds along the supercial surface of the vein until the common facial vein is identied. In every case, the common facial vein will need to be doubly ligated with 2-0 silk sutures and then divided in order to gain adequate exposure of the underlying carotid artery.
The common facial vein is rst isolated by dissecting along either side of its origin with a mosquito clamp. This dissection should be done at the takeoff from the jugular vein, rather than distally. Enough facial vein must be dissected to allow placement of the silk ties and transection between them (approximately 1 cm of facial vein is needed). I prefer to ligate each end of the vein, back up these ties with medium Weck clips, and then cut between the ties and cauterize the free vein ends with the bipolar coagulator. An open vein dumps signicant amounts of blood into the eld and obscures the visual anatomy of the carotid tree. In this particular example, a proximal accessory unnamed branch has been ligated prior to approaching the larger common facial branch. This is a commonly seen variant.

Ligation of the Common FacialVein
This gure illustrates the passage of silk ties behind the common facial vein in preparation for ligation. The right­angled mosquito clamp should pass freely behind the vein if the dissection is done properly. Any attempt to force the mosquito clamp could result in an undesirable blind tear in the back of the common facial vein.
In this gure of a left carotid exposure, three retractors are used: retractor No. 1, separating the wound edges and the lateral blade, which holds back the sternocleidomastoid muscle; retractor No. 2, widening the wound exposure in a vertical fashion; and retractor No. 3, which is a hinged Richards retractor used at the cepha­lad end of the wound to demonstrate the high ICA exposure, as will be seen later. Note that per Fig. 4-19, we have modied our retraction technique.
