Implication

Systematic literature review assesses treatment strategies for retained gunshot projectiles in spinal injuries, highlighting risks and recommendations.

Key Points

Management varies based on the projectile location and neurological status, and early removal of cervical injuries is advised.
From 331 studies, 30 were analyzed, revealing that treatment strategies depend on spinal segment, projectile type, and risk of complications.
Systematic review methodology followed MOOSE, PRISMA, and STROBE guidelines, focusing on the indication for projectile removal.
Understanding complications from types of projectiles aids in developing standardized management protocols for retained gunshot injuries.
