1Department of Anaesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Anaesthesia and Pain Research Institute, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Objective:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of suction-curettage with a combination of two different cannulae for treatment of axillary osmidrosis and hyperhidrosis.
Design:
Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent surgery from September 2004 to September 2006.
Setting:
Outpatient clinic for hyperhidrosis at a university-affiliated hospital.
Subjects:
Sixty-five patients who were treated for axillary malodor and hyperhidrosis.
Interventions:
Patients were sequentially treated with Fatemi and Cassio cannulae.
Main Outcome Measures:
Demographic data, severity data (assessment of malodor), degree of satisfaction, sweating, hair growth, scarring, recurrence and complications.
Results:
Sixty of the 65 patients (96.9%) had excellent to fair results, and only 2 patients (3.1%) had poor results. Complications occurred in 4 patients (6.2%). Recurrence occurred in 3 patients (4.6%).
Conclusions:
This simplified and inexpensive method resulted in a high success rate with low complications and high satisfaction with minimal scarring and rapid recovery.
