The neck

John Oh, Demetrios Demetriades

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Major vascular and aerodigestive structures pass through the neck with little or no protection from overlying bone, muscle, or soft tissue. This means an injury to the neck can result in loss of the airway from a tracheal injury, exsanguination from injury to a major blood vessel, or sepsis from a major pharyngeal or esophageal injury. It is also an area that most general surgeons infrequently operate on, so thorough preparation is the only way to make up for the lack of familiarity in an emergent case.
