Modified Five-Flap Z-plasty for Surgical Correction of Webbed Neck Deformity in Turner Syndrome

Webbed neck deformity is a congenital anomaly that exists in several syndromes. Various techniques for surgically correcting the webbed neck deformity have been described in the literature, each comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. The aim of surgery is to achieve normal neck contour and symmetrical hairline, avoid excessive scarring over the anterior and lateral neck, and limit recurrence. In this report, we described our experience in managing a case of Turner syndrome with bilateral webbed neck deformity using the modified five-flap Z-plasty technique.
