Résumé
Surgical excision for postaxial polydactyly type B is advocated to avoid long-term complications. Excision with local anesthesia (LA) in infancy represents a safe and effective treatment for this condition, although general anesthesia (GA) is employed by many surgeons. We present a comparison of surgical outcomes, cost, and time between LA and GA to support widespread change in management. A retrospective review of patients under 12 months of age undergoing surgical polydactyly excision by a single surgeon was performed. Anesthesia type, patient demographics, and complications were recorded. Comparisons were made between LA and GA groups on procedure cost, operating time, length of stay (LOS), and time from procedure end to discharge. Stepwise forward regression was used to identify the best model for predicting total costs. Ninety-one infants with a mean age of 3 months (±1.9) were examined; 51 (56%) underwent LA alone, 40 (44%) underwent GA. Mean operating time was 11.53 ± 4.36 minutes, with no difference observed between anesthesia groups ( This study demonstrates significantly decreased cost, LOS, and time to discharge using LA alone for surgical excision of postaxial polydactyly type B. Results suggest the approach is quick, economical, and avoids the risks of GA in early infancy.

BACKGROUND
Surgical excision for postaxial polydactyly type B is advocated to avoid long-term complications. Excision with local anesthesia (LA) in infancy represents a safe and effective treatment for this condition, although general anesthesia (GA) is employed by many surgeons. We present a comparison of surgical outcomes, cost, and time between LA and GA to support widespread change in management.
METHODS
A retrospective review of patients under 12 months of age undergoing surgical polydactyly excision by a single surgeon was performed. Anesthesia type, patient demographics, and complications were recorded. Comparisons were made between LA and GA groups on procedure cost, operating time, length of stay (LOS), and time from procedure end to discharge. Stepwise forward regression was used to identify the best model for predicting total costs.
RESULTS
Ninety-one infants with a mean age of 3 months (±1.9) were examined; 51 (56%) underwent LA alone, 40 (44%) underwent GA. Mean operating time was 11.53 ± 4.36 minutes, with no difference observed between anesthesia groups (
CONCLUSIONS
This study demonstrates significantly decreased cost, LOS, and time to discharge using LA alone for surgical excision of postaxial polydactyly type B. Results suggest the approach is quick, economical, and avoids the risks of GA in early infancy.
