[Surgical treatment of syndactylia in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (author's transl)].
The authors report on their experience with the surgical treatment of syndactylia and flexor contracture in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in a 7 1/2-year-old boy. After separation of the fused fingers by excision of the epidermal sac, all sclerotic tissue and affected skin, the defects are covered by split autograft skin taken from clinically non-affected areas. Morphologic and functional results are very satisfactory.
