“The child does not mean that he needs a skin graft, but he is only 6 months old, so small, do not want him to suffer, can I give my skin to the child to use?” Many mothers and fathers have asked me this question, and I understand the feelings of mothers and fathers very well, because all of them have children, and we can’t bear even a little bit of injury to our children, and we would rather suffer ourselves than let our children suffer a little bit. So, is it feasible to remove the skin of the mom or dad and give it to the child? It is not feasible for the child’s syndactyly. Why not? Because even if it is the skin of the mother and father, it will still be rejected after it is transplanted to the child, and it can be used as a temporary cover, but it will be rejected after a long time, and it cannot be used as a permanent cover. Why is it that heart transplants and kidney transplants work, but transplants of other people’s skin don’t work when there is a shortage of skin on the meridian finger? Because vital organ transplants are life-saving, and after the transplant, the patient needs to take immunosuppressive drugs for a long time to allow the organ to tolerate in the body, so that life can continue and a better quality of life can be achieved. However, the presence of skin defects on the meridian finger is not a fatal problem, and it is not possible to put the child on immunosuppressive drugs for a long period of time because of this problem, which will have an impact on the immunity of the whole body of the child. Therefore, I want to make it very clear to parents that they cannot use the skin of the parents, but only the child’s own skin. When skin grafting is needed to achieve the surgical goal of syndactyly, we usually take the skin from the child’s abdomen and make cosmetic sutures in the donor area. The abdominal skin usually heals in about seven to eight days after the surgery, and the affected hand can basically be exposed to water in about three weeks. If you don’t want to have skin grafting, there is now an artificial dermis-induced skin graft-free technique available, which doesn’t require skin grafting from the child’s body and avoids skin grafting-induced scarring in the donor area, skin pigmentation in the recipient area, and decreased sensory function.
