Abstract
|
|
|
We have no doubt the fundamental way solving osmidrosis is surgical excision, and various operative techniques have been introduced. Resection of the sweat glandular layer in the axillae is attractive because of certain advantages. Sensation and sweating begins to return between 6 weeks and 3 years oostoperatively.
For this reason, several previous reports on the resection procedure of sweat glands were inadequate because the period of follow up were too short.
A follow up study using the questionnaire was done from 36 to 60 months postoperatively in the 24 cases of the patients and the following results were obtained:
1) There was no more foul odor from axillae.
2) Although there was a remarkable decrease in axillary sweating, moisture was
preserved because sebaceous and eccrine glands were partially retained.
3) Axillary hairs were scanty, compared to the preoperative condition. 4) The operative scar was invisible.
5) There was no motion limitation of the axillae.
6) All the patients were satisfied with the results of the operation.
We can recommend the superiority of this resection procedure of sweat glands above other surgical techniques with the above results.
