[Injuries of cervical great vessels].
Results of surgical treatment of 156 patients with cervical vessels injuries over 10-year period were analyzed. The majority of the wounds (82.7%) located in zone II of the neck. There were 143 (91.7%) stab-knife and 12 (7.7%) shotgun wounds. Combination of vascular traumas with injuries of deep cervical structures was in 16 (10%) patients. Detailed physical examination permits to avoid special device examinations before surgery in the majority of cases. When injuries of the esophagus or respiratory tract were suspected, the patients underwent diagnostic esophago- and bronchoscopy before and during surgery. Diagnostic and therapeutic policies in these kinds of injuries are systematized.
