Polydactyly is a congenital condition characterized by the presence of extra fingers or toes. While this condition may not always cause functional impairments, surgical intervention is often recommended to address aesthetic concerns and optimize hand or foot function. At Dr. YV Rao Clinics, we specialize in polydactyly surgery, offering tailored treatment plans to meet each patient's unique needs.
Before proceeding with polydactyly surgery, our team conducts a comprehensive evaluation to assess the location, size, and functionality of the extra digit(s). This evaluation helps determine the most appropriate surgical approach and ensures optimal outcomes.
Polydactyly surgery involves various techniques depending on the specific characteristics of the extra digits and the patient's individual circumstances. Common surgical approaches include
Following polydactyly surgery, patients undergo a period of recovery and rehabilitation to optimize outcomes and restore hand or foot function. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care, including wound care, pain management, and physical therapy to promote healing and mobility.
Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing, assess progress, and address any concerns or complications. Our team remains accessible to patients and their families, providing ongoing support and guidance throughout the recovery process.
