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.

We had an incredible experience with Dr. Bharat Saxena. My mother was dealing with a highly complex, recurrent post-APR perineal hernia (severe pelvic floor deformation) following her rectal cancer surgery. After a previous hernia surgery failed in Delhi, we were very anxious. I initially reached out to Dr. Saxena with her case, and he was super supportive right from the start. His quick and reassuring responses gave us the confidence to arrange my parents' travel from Odisha to Mumbai. During the consultation, he clearly explained the entire process and did not hesitate to perform the right, complex reconstructive surgery (a VRAM with a VY Gluteal flap), which is shown to have good success for this rare condition. As a plastic surgeon, his expertise in pelvic floor reconstruction is unmatched. Beyond his brilliant surgical skills, he is super approachable, incredibly supportive, and provides absolutely great post-surgery care. Thank you so much, Dr. Saxena, for taking on this complex case and giving our family peace of mind!Posted on Google Vineet UpadhyayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The suture surgery was performed smoothly and with great precision, and the care shown towards our child and family meant a lot to us. Thank you so much.Posted on Google Kashish SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
