What is Syndactyly Correction?

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

The procedure restores finger mobility and improves hand aesthetics, allowing patients to regain normal hand function.

Treatment Process

When the slab suddenly fell on us while we were sleeping on the floor at midnight, I was terrified. But your calm words, gentle approach, and encouragement made me feel safe and hopeful. You not only treated my injuries—you healed my fear too. I will always recommend you, not just for your skill, but for the compassion you show.
