Abstract
Syndactyly is amongst the most frequent congenital hand anomaly. Syndactyly is termed simple when the digits are connected by soft tissue only, complex when one or more phalanges are fused. In complicated syndactyly, there are additional bony elements in between the digits making it challenging if not impossible to separate safely. The patient in this case is a 1-year-old male with complex syndactyly of the left hand and simple syndactyly of the right hand. Here, we release both sides, with the left side involving a full-thickness skin graft taken from the patient's groin crease. This case was filmed during a surgical mission with the World Surgical Foundation in Honduras.
