Abstract:
Congenital epidermolysis bullosa is a rare disease that causes blister formation in areas susceptible to mechanical stimulation. We present the case of a patient with congenital epidermolysis bullosa simplex who underwent thoracoscopic surgery for pneumothorax. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 5. Crusts developed around the blistered skin, which normalized within 2 months postoperatively. General anesthesia and skin management are critical in thoracoscopic surgery for patients with congenital epidermolysis bullosa simplex.
