“…Our study showed the same result with this literature: our technique had better aesthetic results with circular incision than Z-plasty. [ 19 ] A single-stage correction approach provided satisfactory both functional and aesthetic results. Given many morphological variations of the syndrome, a decision on the strategy of treatment should be made individually for each patient.…”

Background: Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a congenital malformation that results in abnormalities in many parts of the body. Most surgical treatments for ABS used multi-stage Z-plasties. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical results of onestage circular incision techniques for limb ring constriction due to amniotic band syndrome.Methods: We reviewed 27 patients with limb ring constriction in ABS from 2010 to 2020. The mean ages of the patients were 11.7 months (range, 0-72 months). The complete circular incision release the ABS. All patients' operations were used one-stage circular incision surgical techniques, including patients with multiple bands. All the patients were followed up with a period ranges from 2 years to 10 years. Patient-reported visual analog scale (VAS) scar ranking on a scale of 0 (minimum satisfaction) to 10 (maximum satisfaction) were used to evaluate esthetic outcomes.Results: After our surgery, all the limbs, toes, and fingers were rescued, and the lymphedema reduced remarkably. The VAS scores (mean ± SD) for patient satisfaction were 7.55 ± 1.89. The surgical treatment of amniotic band syndrome in a one-stage circular incision is safe and effective. Conclusion:The one-stage circular incision surgical techniques have many advantages, including reduced surgical invasiveness, scar formation, and the cost of treatment.

Congenital constriction band syndrome is a rare condition that presents with constriction bands affecting different types of extremities. Timely surgical intervention for moderate and severe stages of this condition can be performed either in a single stage or multiple stages. We report the case of a neonate who presented with a congenital constriction band and had excision of the constriction band and z-plasty reconstruction. The surgery was done in a single stage. This case highlights the outcome and safety of this single-stage surgery with Z-plasty reconstruction. At 17 years of age, he has a functional lower limb and excels in archery.

“…In the recent past, several authors have published their series in treating constriction rings by excision and direct straight-line closure in an attempt to avoid the unsightly scars. 7,8 Importantly, the deformed section of the skin and band is excised and released, and the sleeve of the adjacent skin and subcutaneous tissue is advanced to get full-thickness closure. The scar quality was also very good, and no constriction was seen with growth in the limb.…”
