Patient's question:
A newborn baby, with an extra thumb next to the right thumb, what is the best time for surgery? I would like to ask the doctor, what is the most suitable age for surgery, or can it be done at any age?Some people say the earlier the better, while others say it doesn't matter. The child is too young, and the anesthesia during surgery might affect the child!
I want to know if there will be any postoperative complications!
Thank you
Doctor's answer:
When born, an extra small finger grew beside the thumb on the right hand. This condition is likely caused by polydactyly. It is recommended to have a check-up and surgery at a Grade III-A hospital's hand surgery department. It is advised to maintain a light diet and strengthen the application. You can also have a check-up and surgery at a local Grade III-A hospital's hand surgery department.
