Adolescent Satisfaction After Deroofing Surgery for Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) significantly impairs quality of life (QOL) with frequent skin pain and drainage. One therapeutic option for treatment is surgical deroofing. A recent study showed high rates of patient satisfaction with the procedure, albeit a small adolescent cohort. We aim to assess overall satisfaction with surgical deroofing in adolescent patients with HS using a retrospective survey-based study including questions pertaining to recovery, pain, QOL, and satisfaction with the procedure. While our study was limited in sample size, there is evidence of satisfaction and tolerability among a majority of our adolescent patients who underwent surgical deroofing.
