Syndactyly Treatment in Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery
About the clinic
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery in Ankara, Turkey, specializes in the surgical correction of syndactyly, a condition where fingers or toes are fused together. The clinic is led by Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır, a hand surgery specialist with over 25 years of experience who completed research at the Cleveland Clinic. He performed the second face transplant in Turkey and recently earned a formal doctorate in hand surgery.
Diagnosis and surgical timing
Treatment begins with a physical examination to determine the extent of the fusion. The medical team uses X-rays if they suspect the bones are joined. They may also use an MRI to map soft tissues and nerves. Prof. Dr. Nasır recommends performing separation surgery between 6 months and 2 years of age. This timing helps the child's hand develop normal function and growth patterns.
Syndactyly separation techniques
The clinic uses specific reconstructive methods to restore hand function and improve the appearance of the fingers. Prof. Dr. Nasır applies microsurgical expertise to handle the delicate nerves and blood vessels in small hands.
- Z-plasty zigzag incisions. This technique prevents tight scars that could pull on the finger as it grows.
- Dorsal flap reconstruction. The surgeon creates a skin flap from the back of the hand to build the web space between fingers.
- Skin grafting. If there is not enough skin to cover the separated fingers, the surgeon takes a graft. They typically use skin from the groin area for a good color match and a hidden scar.
Recovery and hand therapy
The goal of surgery is to allow each finger to move independently. After the procedure, the child needs specialized hand therapy to maintain the new range of motion. The clinic provides support for international patients to help coordinate this postoperative care. Recovery focuses on protecting the delicate grafts and making sure the fingers heal in the correct position.

Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery: more details about the clinic
Surgical Expertise and Statistics
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır attained Professor status in 2019. He received Associate Professor status in 2011. His career includes research on composite tissue transplantation at the Cleveland Clinic. This experience shapes his work in face and limb reconstruction.
The practice reports high success rates for microvascular free tissue transfers. These complex procedures maintain a success rate of 95% or higher. Dr. Nasır also performed notable face transplant work in Turkey. This background supports both aesthetic and functional patient goals.
Plastic and Reconstructive Specialties
The clinic provides a variety of aesthetic and restorative surgeries:
- Rhinoplasty – addresses both aesthetic shape and functional breathing.
- Facial Rejuvenation – includes facelifts, blepharoplasty, and chin aesthetics.
- Body Contouring – offers lipoabdominoplasty, combining tummy tucks with liposuction.
- Gynecomastia Surgery – uses VASER or laser-assisted liposuction for male breast enlargement.
Specialists use the Simon Classification to stage gynecomastia. This helps determine whether surgical excision or liposuction is needed. Tummy tuck options are personalized based on patient needs. These range from mini-abdominoplasty to extended techniques.
Reconstructive and Hand Surgery
Reconstructive care focuses on tissue loss from trauma, burns, and tumors. The clinic uses a "reconstructive elevator" approach. This method matches surgical options to specific patient needs. Surgeons perform microvascular free tissue transfers for complex defects.
Hand surgery addresses conditions involving nerves, tendons, and bones. Surgeons treat acute fractures and nerve lacerations. They also perform toe-to-hand finger transfers to restore movement and sensation.
Gender-affirming pathways are available for transfeminine and transmasculine patients:
- Phalloplasty – uses the gold-standard Radial Forearm Free Flap (RFFF) technique.
- Metoidioplasty – creates functional structures using natural anatomical tissues.
- Facial Feminization (FFS) – involves planning across multiple facial regions.
- Chest Masculinization – includes mastectomy and chest contouring.
Specialists emphasize medical safety during these transitions. Patients must pause hormone therapy before surgery to reduce blood clot risks. Nurses monitor tissue color and temperature every hour after flap transfers.
Technology and Diagnostic Capabilities
The clinic uses several diagnostic tools to plan surgeries. Electromyography (EMG) measures nerve conduction velocity for hand injuries. MRI and CT scans help map tissue structures. For gynecomastia, breast ultrasound or mammograms confirm tissue health.
Treatment technologies include modern energy-based systems. Surgeons use VASER, laser-assisted, and power-assisted liposuction. They also apply radiofrequency tools and ultrasonic-wave devices. These technologies liquefy fat cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
Complex wounds are managed with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (VAC). This system reduces edema and increases blood flow to support healing. All microsurgery is performed under operating microscopes.
International Patient Services
The clinic treats international patients with a health-tourism-oriented approach. Staff provide medical guidance in English and German. This means clear communication throughout long rehabilitation periods. Postoperative care includes detailed dressing and medication instructions.
Rehabilitation accounts for 50% of total treatment success. The clinic coordinates with therapists for customized splints and physiotherapy. Early mobilization is encouraged to prevent joint stiffness. Surgeons also provide sensory re-education programs for nerve repair patients.
