Abstract

Transthoracic gunshot injuries acquire immediate intervention with a correct approach as they have high mortality rates. The high mortality mainly depends on the presence of a probable concomitant injury of the cardiac, pulmonary and major thoracal vascular structures. In this case report, the emergent surgical management of a young female referred with a thoracal gunshot wound causing a massive pulmonary destruction is presented.

Abstract

Transtorasik ateşli silah yaralanmaları yüksek mortaliteye sahip olduklarından, doğru bir yaklaşımla acil müdahale gerektirirler. Yüksek mortalitenin ana nedeni, kardiak, pulmoner ve torasik büyük damar yaralanmalarının birlikte görülebilmesidir. Bu olgu sunumunda, masif akciğer hasarına yol açan transtorasik ateşli silah yaralanması ile gelen genç bir kadının acil cerrahi müdahalesi sunulmaktadır.
