  • Title: Selective management of gunshot wounds to the neck. Report of a series and review of the literature.
    Author: Meinke AH, Bivins BA, Sachatello CR.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1979 Aug; 138(2):314-9. PubMed ID: 464238.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-two patients with gunshot wounds to the neck, 13 with multiple pellet injuries and 19 with single missile injuries, were managed selectively. Although 3 of the 32 patients died in the hospital, no death was attributable to the neck injury. This experience and a review of the literature support the concept of selective management of penetrating neck injuries with intervention based on specific indications.
