Penetrating injuries to the neck are severe and complex, representing a significant challenge in the emergency department and surgical management. Historically, management was based on anatomical zone classification, often leading to unnecessary surgical explorations. Advances in imaging have led to the »no-zone approach«, which relies on clinical findings and CT angiography. This strategy reduces unnecessary interventions while ensuring rapid treatment for patients requiring urgent surgery. This review aims to standardise the management of such injuries nationwide.
