Epidermolysis Bullosa Patients' Perception of Surgical Wound and Scar Healing

CONCLUSION Blistering at the postoperative site seems to be uncommon and particularly unlikely to occur in localized forms of EB. Postoperative wound infections and dehiscence are uncommon. Patients with EB may have a propensity to develop keloid or hypertrophic scarring. With these data, the authors hope clinicians have greater confidence in referring patients with EB for surgery, and surgeons more reassured about postoperative wound healing.
