Abstract:
A comprehensive apocrine glandectomy with a high certainty of treating axillary osmidrosis is described. Two semicircular subcutaneous disks that include all glands are dissected, starting with the backside. By deftly using every finger, the entire procedure can be performed alone. In the dissected specimens, the completely removed apocrine glands are prominent as elastic, reddish granules surrounded by loose, light-yellow fat tissue.
