Patient: Hello, doctor: After the baby was born, the ring finger and little finger of the left and right hands are stuck together, and the fingers can only be bent and feel like webbed fingers. When is the right time for surgery? Does it affect future development? In what hospital can the surgery be performed? The situation you describe is estimated to be a syndactyly. From the point of view of functional recovery, the earlier the surgery, the better. The scars of early surgery after birth are relatively light, and after the fingers are separated, they do not pull on each other during activities, and the motor function and coordination development are not affected. In addition, surgery before the age of 3 generally leaves no memory or psychological trauma. You should visit the hospital before the surgery to understand the skin laxity (amount) and decide the specific plan and whether massage is needed to increase the skin laxity. Hospitals with pediatric surgery can usually perform such a procedure.
