Small Incision Apocrine Glands Excision Combining Original Vacuum Sealing Drainage Technique for the Treatment of Axillary Bromhidrosis

Aim: To observe the therapeutic effect by small incision apocrine glands excision combining original vacuum sealing drainage technique in treating axillary bromhidrosis and its complication. Methods: 120 patients with bromhidrosis were included and randomly divided into two groups. Observation group (60 patients) by small incision apocrine glands excision combining original vacuum sealing drainage technique. Control group (60 patients) by regular small incision apocrine glands excision and rubber drains typically were placed. Results: Therapeutic effect and complications in two groups were compared. Total effective rate in both groups was 100%. 5 patients in observation group (8.33%) had epidermal erosion or dehiscence at medial margin of the incision and 21 patients control group (35.00%) had epidermal erosion or dehiscence at medial margin of the incision. Incidence in control group is obviously higher than that in observation group and such a difference has statistical significance. Conclusion: Complication incidence is significantly reduced by small incision apocrine glands excision with application of original vacuum sealing drainage technique than regular small incision apocrine glands excision and rubber drains.
