Implication

Retrospective study reports surgical excision outcomes across 54 sites in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, indicating wide resection is required for established disease.

Key Points

To assess anatomical distribution and surgical treatment outcomes in individuals presenting with moderate to extensive chronic hidradenitis suppurativa.
Retrospective review of 27 patients with moderate to extensive chronic lesions across 54 anatomical sites surgically treated between 2004 and 2009.
Postoperative outcomes were tracked with a minimum follow-up duration of 6 months.
Operative procedures (N=54) involved the axilla in 42% (23 sites), perineal region in 24% (13 sites), gluteal area in 20% (11 sites), and inguinal folds in 12% (7 sites).
Wide surgical excision proved necessary for disease resolution, whereas conservative medical management demonstrated little to no therapeutic efficacy in advanced presentations.
