Abstract

The Z-plasty has been known as a most common surgical treatment of congenital circumferential constriction band syndrome of the hand. There were thirteen patients of congenital circumferential constriction band syndrome of the hand. All patients underwent Z-plasty under microscope. we did microsurgical dissection to minimize vascular, neural and lymphatic injury, and then considering secondary correction and scar contracture, tried to preserve as much subcutaneous fat and skin flap as possible without any excision. There were less skin necrosis and lymphedema as a result of vascular compromise. Using microscope offers several advantages. First, preventing vascular, neural and lymphatic injury. Second, getting an accurate suture approximation. finally, preserving as much subcutaneous fat and skin flap as possible without any excision. The outcome of digit growth and contour can be excellent than we expected. As a results, we believe that correction of congenital circumferential constriction band syndrome of the hand under the microscope have better results.
