Abrasio axillae in hyperhidrosis

Forty-one patients with hyperhidrosis axillae were operated on. The subcutaneous curettage in 20 patients was compared with radical excision in 21 patients. Comparison of the results of both operations disclosed no difference in the elimination of the sweat secretion, but the method of curretage is superior, because it can be repeated if necessary and leaves practically no scars.
