Abstract
Objective To explore a more efficient surgical method to cure axillary osmidrosis through a comparative study on results from two surgical treatments of axillary osmidrosis in the armpit area.Methods 72 patients were randomized into two groups,in which 36 patients (group A) with micro-incision simple liposuction and 36 patients (group B) with dissection and excision of subcutaneous tissue from axillary folds.The clinical outcomes in the two groups were comparatively analyzed,based on surgery time,effect,complications,scarring and recovery time.Results The total efficiency of axillary osmidrosis treatment was 100% after 6-12 months clinical follow-up towards two groups.There was no significantly statistical difference on the effect of both groups.Micro-incision simple liposuction was obviously superior to dissection and excision of subcutaneous tissue from axillary folds based on surgery time,complications,recovery time,scarring and armpit hair survival rate.The two groups were significantly different (P<0.05).Conclusions Minimally invasive simple liposuction,as a treatment for axillary osmidrosis is a method with more effectiveness and reliability.It is a more acceptable approach to patients in view of safety and convenience,smaller and invisible scarring,fewer complications,and less recovery time.
