Article Synopsis
- Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a rare genetic condition that causes extreme sensitivity to light, which can lead to severe complications like liver failure and intestinal injuries.
- A 55-year-old man with EPP required surgery for an appendiceal mucocele, prompting tests to determine which laparoscope would be safe for him.
- The laparoscope from Company O triggered photosensitivity, while Company S's did not, allowing the successful surgery with no complications and a diagnosis of a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm from the tissue analysis.
