Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Congenital polydactyly and syndactyly of the little toes of both feet, planning to have surgery at your hospital. When is the best time for surgery? What is the approximate cost.Current general condition: Good.
First follow-up question: Is surgery mandatory before the age of 3? Is it not possible after 3? Could you tell me why? I would like the child to be older for easier care.
Second follow-up question: My hometown is Xinjiang, so would it be better to have the surgery there? Are the fees the same for hospitals of the same level? Who can
Doctor's answer:
Polydactyly and syndactyly surgery is generally recommended between the ages of 2-5. Most cases of pediatric syndactyly are congenital developmental deformities that require corrective surgery. Surgery can typically be performed around the age of one. There is usually no long-term aftereffect or impact. It is recommended to actively consult and get checked at a regular hospital for early surgery. I hope my answer helps you.
