Abstract

We aimed to evaluate the fetoscopic procedure indications, procedure-related complications, and neonatal outcomes in cases diagnosed with amniotic band syndrome (ABS). Stage II and III cases according to Hüsler classification were included for fetoscopic surgery. Scissors were used to release the amniotic band in six cases, and a diode laser was used in one case. A single entry was made in all cases. The majority of the children acquired a functional limb (71.4%). Fetal morbidity was mainly linked to the consequences of preterm premature rupture of the membranes (57.1%) and preterm birth (28.5%). Excluding complicated cases, fetoscopic band release is encouraging in cases of ABS in the limbs.
