Abstract
|
|
|
|
The management of penetrating zone II neck injuries without hard signs of vascular injury has been controversial. The controversy lies between mandatory exploration and a selective approach to the management of theses injuries. Authors that advocate mandatory exploration state its low complication rate and high sensitivity in support of this approach. Surgeons in support of selective management argue selective management has comparable efficacy with lower morbidity in comparison with mandatory exploration. Recently we experienced a case of stab wound near vertebral artery and operatively explored, therefore we report a case along with review of literature.
