Summary

The webbed neck is one of the conspicuous deformities of Turner syndrome that presents a surgical challenge. Despite the availability of surgical techniques, surgical outcomes are not always acceptable and recurrence occurs. Mehri Turki performed a surgical technique based on a latéral cervical approach allowing direct visual control to manage the fibrotic band. It provides a high level of visual control so that vulnerable anatomic structures are easily protected.

Conditions

  • Congenital Webbing of Neck

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Mehri Turki Surgical Technique of the Webbed Neck

The incision was made at the junction of the hairless skin and the hairy skin from the mastoid up to the acromion. A subcutaneous undermining allows direct visual control to excise the fibrotic band. Then the hairy skin with a triangular shape was excised. The closure of the defect was done after undermining an anterior cervical flap which was translated in a posterosuperior direction. Z plasty was performed in front of the acromion to prevent scar contracture. Surgical scars are concealed in the hairline which was well placed. The same procedure is done at the same surgical field on the other side to achieve perfect symmetry.
