“…In this series, all children were corrected in one stage, and there has been no patient with circulatory compromise postoperatively. This agrees with earlier studies that defend the one-stage approach [8,[16][17][18]. Indeed, this technique offers excellent results with great safety and simplicity in application.…”

Depressed scars may be congenital or acquired. Different methods have been widely used for the correction of these deformities. The Mutaf procedure was described previously for the correction of the constriction ring syndrome. In this article, the indication was expanded to include non-congenital scars. Eighteen patients underwent the Mutaf procedure for depressed scar correction. These scars included congenital and non-congenital scars. It was applied to both upper and lower limbs. All flaps survived completely with only one minor complication. The Mutaf procedure is an effective method for correction of large depressed scars.

“…The prognosis depends on the severity of the abnormalities. Intrauterine fetal treatment may be considered fetoscopic intervention may be useful to release the bands [5]. It would be indicated in cases where there is a risk of irreversible damage of extremity.…”

“…This concept, first propagated by Stevensons [7], is advocated by many surgeons [12,15,[24][25][26][27][28][29]. However, several reports of the one-stage release of a congenital constriction band have been reported in the literature [8,19,22,23,30,31] with good outcomes. Studies on the circulation to the skin flaps [32] have found that the blood supply to the skin is primarily from the musculocutaneous arteries that directly penetrate the subcutaneous and cutaneous tissue from underlying muscles.…”

Objective To evaluate the clinical and functional results of a technical procedure used in the surgical treatment of congenital constriction ring (CCR) in children. Materials and methods This was a retrospective study undertaken to evaluate the results of surgical techniques performed from January 1995 to December 2005 on 95 patients with 134 congenital constriction bands. Due to the drop-out of nine patients during follow-up, data on 86 patients (121 congenital constriction rings; average age at surgery 1 year 2 months) were analyzed. The extent of the constrictions was classified by according to the Patterson criteria. All patients were treated by two-stage sine plasty combined with removal of the fibrous groove and fasciotomy, with one-half of the ring removed during the first stage and the other half removed 1 week later during the second state. The surgical outcomes were assess according to the Moses criteria. Results Three types of CCR (Patterson criteria) were identified among the 86 patients (121 constriction rings): types I (5 patients, 4.1 %), II (107, 88.5 %), III (9, 7.4 %). Of the 121 constriction rings, good results were attained in 73.6 % and fair results in 26.4 %. Sensory deficits were seen in six patients immediately after the surgery but all six had improved to a normal condition at the final follow-up examination. There were no skin necrosis or wound healing problems. Conclusion The combined sine plasty/removal of fibrous groove and fasciotomy method reported here is a simple and safe surgical technique for treating CCR in children.
