Syndactyly,is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder related to genetic genes or gene mutations within an individual. It is the condition where two or more fingers (toes) are completely fused.

 

Syndactyly can manifest in several different types: if two fingers are completely fused together, it is termed as complete Syndactyly; if two fingers are partially fused together, it is called partial Syndactyly; if the fused portion involves only soft tissues such as skin, it is referred to as simple Syndactyly; if parts or all of the finger bones of two fingers are fused together, it is known as complex Syndactyly.

 

The timing of the surgery is based on the child's physiological development and surgical safety. The optimal timing for surgery for children with Syndactyly is around the sixth month after birth. The larger the fingers, the more deficient the skin, and the longer the cycle for new skin to grow. In China, a method called artificial dermis, which does not involve transplanting skin from other parts of the child's body, can be used to complete this surgery. This approach, with the fastest recovery time, can be shortened to one and a half months.

 

Traditional syndactyly separation surgery involves transplanting skin from other parts of the body, resulting in multiple wounds for the patient. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the transplanted skin will necessarily survive, with a significant risk of necrosis. The scars after recovery are also larger. In comparison, artificial skin can induce the growth of human skin without the need to harvest skin from other parts of the patient's body, reducing the increase in surgical wounds. Additionally, cosmetic suturing with fine needles results in more delicate stitching and smaller scars.

 

Artificial skin serves as an alternative to traditional skin grafting procedures, although it is not a permanent substitute. As the wound heals, artificial skin gradually degrades without causing harm to the human body. This innovative approach not only accelerates recovery but also minimizes the long-term impact on the patient's overall well-being.
