title="Gunshot wound to the neck with fractured larynx cartilage – restoration of organ function",
abstract="External blunt or penetrating laryngeal traumas with larynx cartilaginous framework fractures are a rare type of injury because the larynx is well protected by surrounding structures. We report the case of a 58-year-old female teacher with a gunshot wound to the neck and a multi-fragmentation fracture of the thyroid cartilage. The technique used in emergency surgery to restore the larynx, methods of maintaining airway patency and treatment in larynx injuries are presented. If surgery is conducted on time the anatomy of the larynx can be successfully restored, and it is possible to achieve good functional outcomes.",
