One-stage release of congenital circumferential constriction bands.

A one-stage release of circumferential congenital constriction bands was performed in four extremities (three patients). No wound problems occurred, even when there had been marked swelling of the extremity distal to the band. The one-stage release facilitated postoperative care, and there was no need for additional periods of anesthesia or for additional operations, which are necessary when this problem is treated with a release performed in two or three stages.
