Abstract

When surgery is performed in patients with EB, risks of blisters and epidermal detachment are always present. The Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty cannot always be performed because of anatomical constraints. In such cases, it is necessary to select a more time-consuming surgical procedure (i.e., Roux-en-Y gastrojejunal anastomosis) with adequate fluid management.
