Effectiveness of wide local excision and secondary intention healing in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: a single-center study on quality of life and mental health outcomes.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that significantly impacts patients' quality of life and mental health. Effective management often involves both medical and surgical interventions. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of wide local excision and secondary intention healing in improving quality of life and mental health in patients with moderate to severe HS.

Evaluation of post-surgical complications of hidradenitis suppurativa lesions explored with presurgical ultra-high frequency ultrasound mapping.

Objective: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicle. Its treatment often requires a surgical approach. The aim of our study was to evaluate the occurrence of post-surgical complications following a new standard of surgical management.

Advanced wound management approaches in Hidradenitis Suppurativa postsurgical lesions.

The most appropriate management of recurrent Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) lesions consists of wide surgical removal of the lesions with subsequent healing by second intention. Successful wound healing depends on the choice of an adequate wound dressing, targeted to the features of the wound.We enrolled 25 patients randomized into three groups according to the advanced dressing used in second intention healing of postsurgical wounds (standard therapy, an oxygen-enriched oil-based medical device with prolonged release of reactive oxygen species [ROS], ultra-portable negative pressure therapy).

Pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with Dubowitz syndrome: a new comorbidity?

Introduction: Dubowitz syndrome is a rare genetic disease with only a few cases reported in the literature. It is characterized by growth retardation, microcephaly, facial dysmorphism and higher risk of developing cancer and cardiomyopathies. PG is an autoinflammatory disorder that causes painful ulcers to develop on the skin and has not been previously associated with Dubowitz syndrome.
