ObjectiveTo analyze the etiology, diagnosis and treatment process of cervical trauma, and sum up our experiences via retrospective analysis on the clinical data of patients.Methods19 patients of cervical trauma treated in our department from Sept 2008 to Sept 2017 were included. Of them, 15 were male and 4 were female, aged from 18 to 87 years old with an average age of 46.4. The course of disease was half an hour to 2 months. As for the causes of trauma, cervical foreign body existed in 9 cases (metal foreign body in 6, and glass foreign body in 3), open trauma in 8 and closed trauma in 2. Different anesthesia and treatment methods were selected according to the causes and patients’ conditions.ResultsGood wound healing was achieved in all the 19 patients. Followup for 6 months showed neither death nor tracheoesophageal fistula, except hoarseness in one case.ConclusionsFor the diagnosis and treatment of cervical trauma, it is the key to maintain airway patency, stop bleeding, and correct hemorrhagic shock. Secondly, foreign body removal, laryngotracheal function reconstruction, vascular and neurological anastomosis should be performed to reduce postoperative functional loss.
