Abstract
With the advent of less-invasive fetal surgery techniques, nonlethal disorders are considered amenable to intrauterine treatment. Extremity amniotic band syndrome fulfils the criteria of intrauterine disorders conformable with fetal treatment: capability of prenatal diagnosis and severity. We report 2 cases of extremity amniotic bands with risk of limb amputation released fetoscopically with YAG laser. © 2009 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
