[The surgical importance of the thyro-laryngo-pharyngeal lymphatic interconnections].
The paper presents a study of the evolutional morphogenetic stages of the lymphatic and conjunctive neck structures formation. The authors make particular appreciations concerning the pattern of organization and also, the functional connections of lymphatic and conjunctive elements at intravisceral, perivisceral and perivascular level. Our study proves that these structures form the barriers but also, the spread pathways of the tumoral and inflammatory process which, after an endocavitary development, diffuse either on the adjacent organs or to the main cervical lymph nodes. We emphasized the importance of these anatomical structures in the neck oncological surgery.
