    Selective surgical treatment for penetrating neck wounds is effective. This approach in 223 patients resulted in a 3% mortality rate, comparable to mandatory exploration, without deaths from selective observation.

    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Surgical Decision-Making

    Background:

    • Penetrating neck injuries require careful management.
    • Traditional approaches often involve mandatory surgical exploration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of individualized surgical treatment for penetrating neck wounds.
    • To compare outcomes of selective versus mandatory surgical exploration.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 223 patients with penetrating neck wounds.
    • Application of selective surgical criteria for neck exploration.

    Main Results:

    • 24% of patients underwent neck surgery.
    • A 3% mortality rate was observed in patients with neck wounds.

  • No deaths were attributed to selective observation strategies.

    • Conclusions:

    • Individualized surgical treatment is a safe and effective strategy for penetrating neck injuries.
    • Selective surgical exploration can achieve favorable outcomes compared to mandatory exploration.
