Abstrakt: Background: The treatment of chronic lesions in hidradenitis suppurativa remains a challenge. For some clinical types surgical management is an excellent alternative.
Objective: This study evaluates an alternative surgical approach for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa of specific bridging lesions by subcutaneous resection of the tubular fibrotic tissue.
Methods: Periorificial fusiform skin incisions were made around the orifices parallel to the axillary or inguinal folds and the subcutaneous tubular fibrotic tissue was removed en bloc before skin suturing.
Results: The outcome was evaluated as satisfactory due to lower morbidity, minimizing the excised skin areas, prevention of bridles or adherences, shorter incisions, no healing difficulties, and less dehiscence or wound exposure.
Conclusion: The subcutaneous fistulectomy is a surgical option in bridging hidradenitis suppurativa.
