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. The study suggests this technique is safe and effective, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery with fewer negative cosmetic outcomes. However, further research is needed to assess its long-term efficacy and safety.
