| description | Introduction
Cut throat injuries are one of the challenging emergencies encountered in clinical practice. This study evaluates the causes and management of cut throat injuries.
Materials and Methods
This was a retrospective study of total 100 cases of cut throat injury presented to the department of ENT in a tertiary care hospital in Ahmedabad between June 2017 and June 2019. Majority of patients were managed by suturing.
Results
In our study 69% were males,31% were females. The peak age of incidence is 4th decade (55%). 70% of them have injury in Zone II. Seventy eight percent of the patients presented with active bleed without major vessel injury. The most common cause of cut throat injury had been found to be accidental (75%), 54% had injury up to muscular layer. Five patients were managed by laryngotracheal stent placement.
Conclusion
The middle aged males were mostly affected. The majority had zone 2 injury. The most common cause was Accidental (seasonal manja/ kite thread cut). Primary repair is the best way to avoid complications. |
