Abstract
As stated earlier, we have chosen to present those topographic aspects of the vascular system that are of greatest importance for the surgeon, rather than a systematic anatomy with a division into arteries and veins. The veins that have been discussed, together with their corresponding regions, are: internal jugular vein, carotid triangle (p. 13); subclavian vein, sternocleidomastoid region (p. 13); axillary vein, axillary region (p. 19); inferior vena cava, renal veins, and variations, discussed in the section on the retroperitoneum (p. 19); iliac veins, femoral veins, saphenous vein junction and variations in the sections on pelvic and lower limb vessels (p. 22).
