Abstract
In amniotic band syndrome (ABS) constriction rings affecting the limbs are regularly seen at birth. Circular resection and closure with multiple Z-plasties has been described as the treatment of choice. However, direct circular closure creating linear circumferential scars might replace multiple Z- or W-plasties to reduce scars and improve aesthetic outcome.
