Abstract
Tracheal injuries secondary to blunt trauma are not common and complete tracheal transection is even more unusual. Because the incidence of these treatable, but often lethal, injuries is increasing, more surgeons will encounter them. A report of the treatment of a case of tracheal transection due to blunt trauma with emphasis on avoiding unnecessary tracheostomy is presented, with a review of the literature.
