An Objective Assessment of Long-term Postoperative Hyperpigmentation in Patients With Apocrine Gland-eliminated Osmidrosis Surgery.

Background: Radical surgery is the best treatment for axillary osmidrosis to eliminate the apocrine glands. However, marked postoperative hyperpigmentation may occur. Clinicians need an objective skin pigmentation examination to identify and treat hyperpigmentation.

Optimizing hematoma management in axillary osmidrosis surgery: the role of timely drainage and prevention of flap necrosis.

Hematoma formation is a rare complication following axillary osmidrosis surgery, and its delayed liquefaction can pose significant risks to flap viability, leading to complications such as necrosis. This study examines two cases of postoperative hematomas, highlighting the importance of appropriate drainage management. In both cases, the initial hematomas were evacuated and treated with Penrose drains, but complications arose due to delayed liquefaction.

Using an Innovative Protective Sleeve to Reduce Skin Compression Complications in Axillary Osmidrosis Surgery.

Osmidrosis is a condition characterized by malodorous sweat production in the armpits that often necessitates surgical intervention with tie-over bandages in the axillary area. Standard tie-over bandages may cause skin compression-related complications, such as bruising and skin erosion. To address this issue, we developed a novel technique using a modified protective sleeve.

Silver nitrate: a novel therapeutic approach for refractory Seroma following body malodor surgery.

Seroma, a fluid collection that can develop after surgery, can be a challenging complication to manage. Conventional treatment options, such as quilting suture and drainage tubes, may not be effective in resolving refractory seromas. This article presents two cases of refractory seroma after axillary osmidrosis surgery that were successfully treated with silver nitrate.

Are Antiperspirants Safe? Shedding Light on the Distribution of Aluminum Compounds in Sweat Glands.

The safety of antiperspirants has been a subject of intense debate, with conflicting perspectives and research findings. This study aimed to contribute to the discussion by investigating the distribution of aluminum chloride (AlCl3), a common ingredient in antiperspirants, within the sweat glands. We enrolled a total of 10 patients seeking surgery for bromhidrosis in our study.

Minimally invasive removal of apocrine glands: a study of 100 cases using three maneuvers with blunt scissors.

A case series study describes a minimally invasive surgical technique for removing axillary apocrine glands using blunt scissors. The technique involved making two small incisions, removing the glands using three maneuvers, and evaluating patient satisfaction and post-surgery complications. Of 100 patients, 92% reported being satisfied with the results, with no reported complications.

Long-Term Use of Antiperspirant is Associated with a Low Risk of Postoperative Complications in Patients with Axillary Osmidrosis.

Purpose: Many patients with axillary osmidrosis (AO) cannot tolerate the local irritation of strong antiperspirants and discontinue AO use within a short time. This study evaluates the effect of long-term antiperspirant use on postoperative complications after osmidrosis surgery.

Patients And Methods: A total of 116 females (66 antiperspirant and 50 non-antiperspirant cases) who underwent osmidrosis surgery were retrospectively reviewed.

New idea for hair transplantation to preserve more donor hair follicles.

Higher risk of rapid progression in alopecia or male pattern baldness was observed in men who had family history. This could result from accumulation of DHT in hair follicles. Hair follicles on frontal region are more vulnerable to DHT.
