| Abstrakt: | Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a congenital disease that causes a variable degree of deformity and tissue disruption. Surgical excision of fibrotic tissue and advancement of local flaps is the gold standard for constriction bands of the upper limb. We report the use of an adipofascial Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery perforator (SCIP) flap to improve contour following amniotic band resection in the upper extremity in two patients with ABS. The use of this microsurgical technique can be considered in the occasional patient when there is a deficit of soft tissues after release of the contracture band that cannot be addressed with locally available tissue. |
