LAPAROSCOPIC APPENDECTOMY IN DYSTROPHIC EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA: ADVANTAGES OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURE
شماره ركورد

Abstract
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is an epidermolysis bullosa (EB) type that bulla formation develops on the dermal surface of the dermoepidermal component due to splitting in the basal lamina. In these patients, opening of mechanical blisters caused by trauma can lead to infection. In cases with DEB, surgical intervention, especially in the case of abdominal surgery, requires careful attention to prevent infection of the blisters caused by incision and surgery. Here we present a 16-year-old male having DEB who had undergone laparoscopic appendectomy with a diagnosis of perforated appendicitis. Preoperative and postoperative interventions have to be planned to cause minimal trauma and infection to the skin and preference for a less invasive laparoscopic approach is the approach that can reduce complications in such cases.
