Syndactyly

What is syndactyly?

If your child has syndactyly, it means that the fingers or toes are webbed or joined. This condition would have been present at birth. Syndactyly is a fairly common congenital defect that often runs in families, affecting about 1 out of every 2,500 babies. Boys are more likely to have it than girls.
Syndactyly affects both hands (bilateral) about half of the time and most often occurs between the middle and ring fingers. It also can affect a child’s toes as well as fingers.
In most cases, surgery can restore the appearance of the fingers and thereby allow the child to undergo normal development and have a normal function of the hand.

Treatment of syndactyly?

Dr Stasch will examine the hands and toes, and in most cases an X-Ray picture will be needed. Surgery involves cutting through the skin that covers the affected fingers in a zig-zag fashion, and use the same skin to cover the now separated fingers. Sometimes, small skin grafts are necessary to close all defects.

Dr. Tilman and his team are the best in Kenya! I had a breast reduction surgery and the results are beyond phenomenal! They took their time preparing me and walking me through the whole process from the moment I reached out and through my recovery period. Winnie, Michelle Vangline and Lavender have been very supportive, professional, friendly and compassionate. Dr. Tilman is a true artist! His work is absolute perfection!!! He really did exceed my expectations. I had an easy flawless recovery and the scars have healed beautifully. The results are stunning. If I were to do it all over again, Dr. Tilman would be and remains to be my 1st choice. Honestly, I couldn't be happier. The surgery changed my life. The back and shoulder pain disappeared alongside the constant headaches. Size truly does matter.Thank you for making me look and feel good! You're all are exceptional.

I did my breast reduction surgery in February after suffering gigantomastia for as far back as I could remember. After my extensive research I went for the very best Dr. Tilman Stasch. My journey was way better than I expected, from the first consultation, to the OP and even the post op care. I was handled by a team that I found very professional and caring. I am 3kgs lighter on my chest and the happiest version of me.
