Isolated Finger Removal (Not Conjoined)
The choice to remove a finger is usually made after a careful assessment of the patient’s health, the extent of the problem affecting the finger, and the possible effects on hand function as a whole. Rehabilitation services can help patients following such treatments adjust to living without a missing finger and maximise hand functionality.

What to expect at the time of your surgery:
The surgery is performed under anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. The type of anesthesia (local, regional, or general) will be discussed with you beforehand. The surgeon makes an incision to access the affected finger and carefully removes it. The incision is then closed with stitches. Depending on the circumstances, the surgeon may use various wound closure techniques. The wound may be left open, closed primarily, or covered with a skin graft.
What to expect after your surgery:
The recovery process after isolated finger removal surgery involves several stages. Immediately postoperative, patients can expect some discomfort, which is typically managed with prescribed pain medications. The wound will be monitored for signs of infection, and dressing changes may be necessary. In the days and weeks following surgery, individuals may need to limit activities involving the hand to promote proper healing. Long-term recovery may involve adapting to life with a missing finger, potentially with the assistance of rehabilitation or physical therapy to optimise hand mobility and function. Adapting to changes and exploring options such as prosthetics or assistive devices may be part of the long-term recovery plan, depending on the nature of the surgery and its impact on hand function.
