It is common to treat bromhidrosis by surgery, but postoperative complications such as subcutaneous exudate and subcutaneous hematoma can occur and lead to delayed healing of the wound and eventually lead to the formation of unattractive scars. In this study, we evaluated our new surgical treatment for bromhidrosis, which we believe improves prognosis over conventional surgery.The new procedure was performed on 22 patients with bromhidrosis. Our procedure is as follows. One centimeter-long incisions are made along the skin and cleaning of the subcutaneous apocrine glands using a special serrated scraping device is completed. Then, several 0.5 cm-long drainage holes are made according to the design of the Sudoku puzzle and 4 anchoring points identified to stabilize the oil gauze. Finally, the incisions were sutured and the wound covered with a bandage.Of 44 axillas, the bromhidrosis of 42 axillas was completely cured, and greatly reduced in 2 axillas. Local epidermal necrosis occurred in 5 axillas, but there was no full-thickness skin necrosis. Subcutaneous hematoma was not observed, and postoperative scarring was minimal.We found that our modified surgery can effectively reduce the occurrence of subcutaneous hematoma, avoid delayed healing of the wound, and minimize postoperative scarring.Level II, therapeutic study.
