    Abstract Purpose: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) has a higher incidence of mastectomy skin flap necrosis (MSFN) than skin-sparing mastectomy. The purpose of this study is to analyze predisposing factors for nipple and skin necrosis after bilateral NSM with immediate implant reconstruction.
    Methods: Sixty-two consecutive patients (124 breasts) from a single breast/plastic surgeon underwent bilateral NSM with immediate implant-based breast reconstruction were included. Factors influencing MSFN were analyzed.
    Results: The mean age was 45.7 years, and mean body mass index was 22.9. Reconstructive methods were as follows: tissue expander (TE), 76 (61.3%); and direct to implant, 48 (38.7%). Mastectomy skin flap necrosis occurred in 39 (31.5%) breasts, nipple necrosis 38 and skin flap necrosis 19. Thirty-seven breasts healed uneventfully, and 2 (1.6%) required reoperation. Cancer pathology, mastectomy weight greater than 279 g, TE reconstruction, and nipple-notch (N-N) distance greater than 23 cm were predictive of nipple necrosis on univariate analysis. The mean mastectomy weight (380.1 g vs 220.7 g, P < 0.0001), N-N distance greater than 23 cm (30 vs 0, P < 0.0001), and mean implant size (490 cm3 vs 373 cm3, P < 0.0001) were greater in the TE group. On logistic regression model controlling for all significant variables, predictors of MSFN were as follows: diagnosis of cancer (odds ratio [OR], 3.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41-8.03; P = 0.006), TE reconstruction (OR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.03-8.03; P = 0.04), and N-N distance (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.03-1.66; P = 0.03).
    Conclusions: Mastectomy skin flap necrosis after NSM and implant reconstruction is common. In this series, only 2 (1.6%) cases required surgical intervention with no implant loss. Treatment of breast cancer, TE reconstruction, and increasing N-N notch distance were positive predictors of MSFN.

    Abstract Purpose: The goal of this study was to evaluate the recent trends in the management of upper extremity Crotalid envenomation in the state of Georgia, United States.
    Methods: A retrospective review of the Georgia Poison Center database looking at the reported snakebites to the upper extremity between 2015 and 2020 was performed. Patient demographics, timing and location of injury, severity of envenomation, treatment, including use of antivenin and surgical intervention, and reported complications related to the use of antivenin was extracted.
    Results: A retrospective review of snakebites between 2015 and 2020 showed 2408 snakebite cases with a mean patient age of 37.4 years. Males incurred 62.8% of all bites. The highest incidence was in summer 52.5%, and between the hours of 5 PM to midnight 57.2%. Overall, 1010 (41.9%) of all bites were categorized as venomous snakebites (55.6% copperhead, 20% rattlesnake, 2.4% cottonmouth, and 22% miscellaneous [including 3 Elapid envenomations] or unidentified. The total number of venomous bites to the upper extremity was 575 (56.9%) and 567 patients received antivenin. Envenomation severity was mild in 29%, moderate in 45%, severe in 10%, and undetermined in 16% of cases. Crotalidae polyvalent immune Fab (Ovine) was the main antivenin used, with overall mean initial therapy dose of 6.2 vials and 59% of patients receiving maintenance therapy. Three patients (0.5%) had a severe anaphylactic reaction to antivenin requiring cessation of therapy. Seven patients had acute compartment syndrome of the upper extremity requiring fasciotomy (3 copperhead, 2 rattlesnake, and 2 unidentified). There was no reported mortality during this period.
    Conclusions: Hand surgeons should be familiar with the management of upper extremity Crotalid envenomation. Antivenin remains the main treatment for symptomatic patients. Crotalid snakebites rarely require operative intervention.
    Type of study/level of evidence: Prognostic IV.
