In some units these are managed by ENT. In others it is the maxillofacial team. Lacerations to the neck, even if superficial can involve several important anatomical structures and you should involve the registrar early. These include the following:
• Nerves (Marginal mandibular, vagus, accessory, hypoglossal)
• Vessels (External/Internal jugular, ICA)
• Other (trachea, oesophagus, thyroid, thoracic duct, parotid)
