Resumen
GRYNGRAS, Natalia y MANARO, Beatriz. The role of the plastic surgeon in snake bites in children: two cases report. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2022, vol.48, n.4, pp.465-472. Epub 13-Mar-2023. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922022000400014.
Snake envenomation are potentially deadly accidents that still represent a public health issue in some countries. They may determine severe locoregional sequalae and are more serious in children. General treatment has been agreed, but there is little information available about adequate local management, where controversy remains. The pediatric plastic surgeon is usually involved in local treatment, which differs from standard measures applied to wound care in other situations.
We present two clinical cases which, following the recommendations from toxicologists, received conservative treatment with excellent results, and we conducted a bibliographical review on the subject.
