Syndactyly Correction

Syndactyly Correction is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at separating fused fingers to restore hand function and appearance. This congenital hand deformity correction is expertly performed by Dr. Bharat Saxena, a gold medalist plastic surgeon practicing at both Nanavati MAX Super-Speciality Hospital and Saxena Aesthetics in Mumbai. With years of experience in reconstructive hand surgery Mumbai trusts, Dr. Saxena offers advanced and compassionate care tailored for infants, children, and adults requiring syndactyly treatment.

What is Syndactyly Correction?

What is AV Fistula for Dialysis?

Syndactyly is a congenital condition where two or more fingers are fused together by skin or bone. Syndactyly correction surgery involves separating these fused digits to improve hand functionality and aesthetics. This procedure is vital in pediatric hand deformity correction to ensure proper hand development, dexterity, and to avoid functional limitations as the child grows. Syndactyly treatment in infants often requires timely intervention to prevent complications and enhance quality of life.

Common Indications

  • Congenital fusion of adjacent fingers causing impaired hand movement and function
  • Presence of webbing or soft tissue fusion restricting normal finger separation
  • Syndactyly causing cosmetic concerns impacting social and psychological well-being
  • Complex bony fusion requiring reconstructive hand surgery Mumbai specialists can address

Techniques Used

  • Surgical separation of fused fingers using meticulous microsurgical techniques
  • Use of skin grafts or local flaps to cover newly created spaces between digits
  • Preservation and reconstruction of nerves, tendons, and blood vessels for optimal function
  • Application of advanced hand plastic surgery protocols to minimize scarring and complications

About the Surgery/Treatment

Syndactyly correction surgery involves carefully separating fused fingers and reconstructing the web space. The procedure restores finger mobility and improves hand aesthetics, allowing patients to regain normal hand function. Dr. Bharat Saxena, an expert in congenital hand deformities, performs this surgery with precision at Nanavati Hospital and Saxena Aesthetics hand surgery clinic.

Treatment Process

  • Initial consultation and detailed hand examination including imaging studies
  • Planning of surgical approach customized for simple or complex syndactyly
  • Surgery performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 1 to 3 hours
  • Post-operative dressing and immobilization to protect the surgical site

Benefits of this Surgery

  • Enhanced finger mobility and improved hand functionality
  • Restoration of natural finger appearance for better cosmetic outcome
  • Prevention of developmental delays in hand use among pediatric patients
  • Minimally invasive techniques reduce recovery time and complications

Syndactyly correction surgery is a safe and effective solution for congenital finger fusion. With Dr. Bharat Saxena’s expertise and advanced reconstructive hand surgery Mumbai residents trust, patients receive personalized care leading to optimal functional and aesthetic results.

What to Expect After Surgery

Post-surgical care is crucial for a successful recovery following syndactyly correction. Patients can expect a structured healing process with regular monitoring to ensure proper finger movement and wound healing.

Post-Surgery

  • Immobilization of the hand with splints or casts to maintain finger position
  • Regular wound checks and dressing changes by the surgical team
  • Pain management with prescribed medications for comfort
  • Instructions on hand elevation and activity restrictions to reduce swelling

Recovery Milestones

  • Initial wound healing observed within 10 to 14 days post-surgery
  • Gradual removal of splints followed by guided physiotherapy to improve finger motion
  • Full functional recovery typically achieved within 3 to 6 months
  • Periodic assessments to monitor growth and development in pediatric cases

Follow-Up Care

Timely follow-up visits are essential to monitor healing and functional progress after syndactyly correction.

Follow-up Schedule

  • First follow-up within 7 to 10 days for dressing removal and wound assessment
  • Subsequent visits every 2 to 4 weeks to evaluate hand function and scar healing
  • Long-term reviews every 3 to 6 months, especially for growing children
  • Additional interventions scheduled if complications or functional issues arise

Follow-Up Care

  • Professional wound care including dressing changes and infection prevention
  • Monitoring and managing scar formation and skin graft health
  • Customized rehabilitation guidance for hand exercises and physiotherapy
  • Psychological support and counseling to assist families and pediatric patients

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Syndactyly correction is typically recommended between 6 months and 2 years of age to allow normal hand development. However, adults can also undergo surgery for functional improvement.

    The procedure is done under general anesthesia, so pain is minimal during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is managed with medications, and most patients experience gradual pain relief during recovery.

    Initial healing takes about 2 weeks, but full functional recovery including physiotherapy may take 3 to 6 months depending on the complexity of the fusion.

    As with any surgery, risks include infection, scarring, and delayed healing. Choosing an expert plastic surgeon like Dr. Bharat Saxena reduces these risks significantly.
