Surgical treatment of hyperhidrosis axillae.
SCANDINAVIAN JOURNAL OF PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY AND HAND SURGERY(2009)
Abstract
58 patients have been operated on for axillary hyperhidrosis by excision of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The hyperhidrotic area was determined by application of a crêpe paper in the axilla. Either 60% or 90% of the hyperhidrotic area was excised, using a bat-like pattern. Only after excision of 90% of the hyperhidrotic area acceptable results were achieved. In a series of 22 patients with 90% excision bilaterally 18 had excellent results, three were good, and one was poor. The entire series was without complication. The advantage of this technique is its simplicity, freedom from complication, performance on an out-patient basis, and short convalescent time.
