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
