Fasciotomy in the upper limb after compartment syndrome due to snakebite with subsequent grafting and z-plasty: case report
Article in several languages: português | English
▪ ABSTRACT
This case study examines the clinical course of a Bothrops snakebite poisoning that occurred in Jarinu, São Paulo, Brazil, in 2021. The patient required a fasciotomy in the upper limb due to acute compartment syndrome, followed by a second surgical procedure involving dermo-epidermal grafting. In the late postoperative period, the patient experienced retraction, leading to a subsequent surgical intervention to correct the retraction in the left upper limb. The severity of the snakebite accident, the effects of venom on tissues, complications, acute compartment syndrome, as well as the indications and techniques for decompressive fasciotomy, are discussed based on the available literature.
Institution: Hospital São Vicente de Paulo, Jundiaí, SP, Brazil.
