Abstract

|
|
Secretion of axillary appocrine glands is naturally odorless but a strong foul odor is developed by bacterial decomposition. The fundamental treatment of osimidrosis axillae is to remove majority of the central axillary glands, responsible for 70 to 80% of the axillary secretion.
We elected to treat our osmidrosis axillae patients by excision of the leison and closure of the defect by Limberg’s flap. Authors reviewed and evaluated the results of the treatment of 103 osmidrosis axillae patients who were treated in Catholic Medical Center from 1978 to 1982.
The following results were obtained
1) During the period 103 patients with 206 osmidrosis axillae were admitted to the hospital. The patients were 83 female and 20 men.
2) Most of osmidrosis occurred in the age group of between 15 to 29 years.
3) The mean postoperative hospitalization date was 4.2 days.
4) Complications developed in 10 axillae (4.9%).
5) The complications were follows;
1) Hematoma : 4axillae
2) Partial wound distruption : 2 axillae
3) Partial flap necrosis : 2 axillae
4) Noticeable scar : 2 axillae
5) Recurrence and reoperation was absent
Overall result of the surgery is very satisfactory and it is highly recommendable in treatment of osmidrosis axillae.
