Sculpt Sublime : Restoring Function and Confidence with Syndactyly Repair

At Sculpt Sublime, our team of national and international plastic and reconstructive surgeons are dedicated to improving the lives of patients with syndactyly. Syndactyly, also known as webbed fingers or toes, is a birth defect where two or more digits are fused together. It can affect any combination of fingers or toes and vary in severity from mild webbing to complete fusion.
Surgical Solutions for Syndactyly
Our surgeons offer advanced techniques for syndactyly repair, tailored to the specific needs of each patient. The procedure typically involves :
  • Anesthesia : General anesthesia is usually used for children and local anesthesia with sedation for adults.
  • Incision : The surgeon makes precise incisions to separate the fused digits.
  • Tissue Reconstruction : Depending on the complexity of the syndactyly, additional procedures like skin grafting or Z-plasty (a flap technique) might be used to create functional and aesthetically pleasing digits.
  • Closure : The incisions are then closed with sutures.
Benefits of Syndactyly Repair
  • Improved Function : Separating fused digits allows for greater range of motion and dexterity in the affected hand or foot.
  • Enhanced Appearance : Syndactyly repair restores a more natural appearance to the hand or foot, boosting self-confidence and promoting positive body image.
  • Increased Comfort : Fused digits can sometimes cause discomfort or difficulty performing daily tasks. Syndactyly repair alleviates these concerns and improves overall well-being.
Considering Syndactyly Repair :
While syndactyly may not always cause functional limitations, some patients choose to undergo surgery for aesthetic reasons or to improve hand/foot function. Our surgeons will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the best approach based on factors such as :
  • Severity of syndactyly
  • Age of the patient
  • Functional limitations (if any)
  • Overall health
