AbstractThirty-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.
