Surgical strategy for airway management and bleeding control in penetrating neck injury in zone II: A case report

We report the case of a 33‐year‐old man with a self‐inflicted neck wound with severe hypopharynx injury, and hemorrhagic shock, which was well managed by a trauma surgeon trained in esophageal surgery. Training in cervical lymph node dissection for esophageal cancer could be useful in the management...

Description
Summary:We report the case of a 33‐year‐old man with a self‐inflicted neck wound with severe hypopharynx injury, and hemorrhagic shock, which was well managed by a trauma surgeon trained in esophageal surgery. Training in cervical lymph node dissection for esophageal cancer could be useful in the management of penetrating neck injuries. The management of penetrating neck injuries is difficult due to the complicated anatomy and very small area of the neck. Training in cervical lymph node dissection for esophageal cancer could be useful in managing penetrating neck injuries.
