During the last decade 419 patients were admitted to the American University of Beirut Medical Center with penetrating neck injuries mainly due to shrapnel. During the first 8 1/2 years of the war, all patients with wounds penetrating the platysma were explored. During the last 2 years, a more selective approach was used.
