Overview
Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of scleroderma. However, surgical procedures such as debulking and lung transplantation are needed to treat complications of scleroderma which include calcinosis cutis and pulmonary hypertension.
Indications
Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of scleroderma. However, surgical intervention is needed to treat complications of scleroderma which include:
Surgery
- Lung transplantation is performed for patients with pulmonary hypertension that do not respond to medical therapy.
- A debulking surgery is performed for patients with calcinosis cutis that do not respond to medical therapy.
