https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Staurosporine.html Syndactyly has a cosmetic, functional, and psychosocial impact, and surgical treatment is indicated in most cases. This study aimed to retrospectively identify whether patients undergoing surgical release of syndactyly younger than 1 year presented different results compared with those operated older than 1 year. Patients were assessed through photographic records by 3 independent specialist surgeons for the quality of scar, presence of web creep, rotational, flexion-extension, and lateral flexion deformities using the Withey score. Thirty-four patients were included in the study, totaling 51 commissures operated. The score was higher in the group operated younger than 1 year (5.83 ± 2.39) compared with the group older than 1 year (3.94 ± 1.93), being statistically significant, with a P value of 0.011. Children with syndactyly operated younger than 1 year have worse postoperative outcomes measured by the Withey score than those operated older than 1 year. Children with syndactyly operated younger than 1 year have worse postoperative outcomes measured by the Withey score than those operated older than 1 year. The management of complex exomphalos major is difficult, and traditional techniques fail to address the visceroabdominal disproportion in the most severe cases. Intra-abdominal tissue expansion is a novel technique and has been used in a small number of patients to safely increase the intra-abdominal volume and allow the reduction of viscera and subsequent closure of the abdominal domain. We review 7 published reports of this technique and add a case report describing our refinement of the technique. We propose that the use of multiple expanders placed in the intra-abdominal preperitoneal space, when expanded slowly, can allow safe reduction of viscera and immediate direct closure of the musculofascial layer of the abdomen.
