TLDR Laser treatment can fix skin color issues after syndactyly surgery.
The document discussed the issue of abnormal skin pigmentation and hair growth following syndactyly release, a common hand condition affecting 1 in every 2000 to 2500 live births. Traditionally, the procedure required a full-thickness skin graft from the groin, which often led to problematic hair growth and pigmentation. Recent approaches have shifted towards graft-less syndactyly repair for most patients, and for those still needing grafts, meticulous care is taken to harvest skin from the lateral part of the groin to avoid hair growth issues at puberty.
