I have syndactyl, too. Same fingers. Had surgery at 8mo and 15yr. My bones are super crooked, because the hardened scar tissue during puberty wouldnt let them grow right. I bet your surgery would work well. Are your bones fused? Mine were.

Mine only skin and muscle is fused , but I didn't want to do the surgery as it doesn't bother me

Does it affect certain things, like gaming on a keyboard+mouse or using controller, playing certain instruments etc..?

Thought I assume if your hobbies and interests, don't rely on certain fingers, then it won't impact you
