Features of the topographic anatomy of the lymphatic centers and collectors during surgical operations in the head area in dogs

The article presents the features of the topographic anatomy of the lymphatic centers and collectors of the head area in dogs. The interrelationships of the cellular and vascular parts of the lymphatic system, as well as the organs associated with them, are established. The features of the structure of the mandibular, medial retropharyngeal and facial lymph nodes are described. Statistics on their availability are provided. The study also presents a detailed lymph supply to the orbital region and its significance in the pathogenesis of ophthalmopathies. Anatomical and topographic maps developed by the authors are of practical importance for all surgical interventions in the head area.
