- Arch Surg. 1987 May;122(5):592-7.
-
Rationale for inclusion: A prospective evaluation of 113 patients who underwent areteriography/panendoscopy followed by neck exploration identified 6 major injuries that were not detected with arteriography/panendoscopy

- Ann Surg. 1986 Jul;204(1):21-31.
-
Rationale for inclusion: Panendoscopy with arteriography was found to be equally safe and accurate as mandatory exploration while reducing the rate of negative neck explorations.

-
Rationale for inclusion: Randomized prospective study of 160 patients with penetrating neck injuries underwent either mandatory or selective exploration based on examination or imaging. No clear benefit was demonstrated in the mandatory exploration group.
