Doctors in the KLE Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital conducted a complex surgery on a girl child suffering from syndactyly and helped her gain the use of her hand.
The girl was suffering from congenital syndactyly and all her fingers were joined together.
A team led by plastic surgeon Rajesh Pawar was successful in separating the fingers of one hand of the girl. The other hand will be operated upon after a few weeks. The girl’s toes will be taken up in later phases.
