|July 1, 1976
Abstract:
A simplified approach to the surgical treatment of hidradenitis supprativa of the groin and perineum is presented. All tissue is excised down to the fascia, and the wound is allowed to granulate and epithelialize spontaneously. The advantage of the procedure are (1) a simple surgical technique, (2) easier postoperative care, (3) full and early ambulation, (4) no donor sites, (5) no losses of skin grafts, (6) early discharge from the hospital, and (7) early return to work.
