Abstract
|
|
|
The principle of operative management of osmidrosis axillae was surgical removal of both axillary sweat glands.
The authors reviewed 23 patients of osmidrosis axillae, treated surgically by resection of sweat glandular layer with preservation of the axillary skin using bipedicled flap, for 4 years from 1975 to 1978, at the Department of Plastic Surgery, Soon Chun Hyang College of Medicine.
The results were summerized briefly as follows:
1. There were 10 males and 13 females.
2. The age of the patients was ranged from 15 years to 36 years and the average age was 21.4 years.
3. The following results of the analysis in 12 follow up cases were noted.
1) Without sacrificing of the axillary skin, sweat glands can almost be removed.
2) There was not so skin tension that primary healing without complication as wound disruption can be well.
3) Operative scars can be concealed to the axillary skin creases.
4) Hypertrophic scar, keloid, and limitation of the shoulder movement were not recurred.
5) Axillary hair growth and sweating were diminished markedly and there were good responses especially in females.
6) Almost of all patients were very satisfied postoperatively.
