This morning’s clinic had an adult commissure patient who had already had two surgeries before coming to see me. The first time was done at a local hospital, but it didn’t take long for it to come back together. The second time was done at a different hospital in Wuhan, and she felt that it was still not done properly, so she came back to me and asked me to take a look at it. After I checked the wound, I found that it was fine and not infected, so I told the patient not to worry and to change the medication slowly and wait for the wound to heal. At a later stage, you can use a little scar removing medication and then wear split-finger socks and just keep watching. This patient was very cute and said that the reason she wanted to have the surgery was that she wanted to wear sandals. She was very similar to an adult male patient with polydactyly that I saw a while back. When that patient came to me, I said he could do without it, but he still wanted to do it because he had been very bothered by the extra toe on his foot since he was a child, and he never wore sandals, even in hot weather. There are many patients like this in the clinic. Many of them have an extra finger (toe) or a parallel finger (toe) that their family thought was not a big problem when they were young, but when they grew up they had a very strong desire to have surgery. For small children, they really don’t care about the problem of multiple fingers (toes) or joint fingers (toes), and some of them even find it quite funny, but when they grow up, many of them will be in great pain. In fact, it’s a matter of timing. It’s not a big problem when you’re small, but it’s a big problem when you get older. For adults, it costs more to fix the problem of polydactyly (toe) or syndactyly (toe). Of course we are not inoperable, we can operate, but the surgery will have a greater impact on the patient’s work, school and life. So parents need to think ahead for their baby’s future.
