Otolaryngology trauma

Otolaryngology trauma can be seen in peacetime and wartime. Incomplete statistics of Otolaryngology wounded in the counterattack of Vietnam self-defense accounted for 5.7% of the general staff admitted to the hospital. Ears and noses protrude from the head and face and are vulnerable to trauma. The detonation pressure wave of the firearm during the wartime caused serious damage to the hearing device. The throat is deeper, with an upper and lower jaw, anterior and lower chest, and posterior cervical protection, so there is less chance of injury. Of the wounds in the war, 72.6% were ear wounds, 21.0% were nasal injuries, and 6.4% were throat injuries.
