‘Corseting’ and ‘strangling’—two techniques sharing similar concepts to treat large venous malformations in the head and neck region

We congratulate Colletti et al. for introducing the 'strangling technique' in a preliminary report of two cases in the journal Head& Neck in October 20141. Although it shares a similar approach with the 'corset technique' in terms of the concept and the exposure of the lesion, it is very different from the corset technique2. The term itself talks about a difference in collapsing the lesion using locked vertical mattress sutures. The following narrative clearly explains the differences between t he two techniques.
