Video Summary
Mount Sinai's Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery team presents their technique for treating amniotic band syndrome. The procedure involves excising the constriction band and related soft tissues while being cautious of deeper structures like nerves and tendons. Dermal fat flaps are then created to fill the space left by the band excision, preventing future hourglass deformities. Z-plasty markings assist in reducing closure tension. The turnover flaps are sutured into place, with skin closure using monocryl stitches. Post-procedure care includes using Dermabond, bandaging, and managing pain with simple analgesics, avoiding antibiotics. This technique offers reliable and predictable results.
