| description | Background Liposuction and laser ablation for treatment of osmidrosis are leading treatment methods for osmidrosis and have less complication compare to conventional surgical method. We treated patients with the two methods simultaneously to maximize the efficiency for less complication. Methods 18 patients with axillary osmidrosis (total 36 axillae) were included in this study. They had been treated by liposuction with diode laser ablation from December 2011 to August 2012. The results of operation was assessed by questionnaire subjectively and microscopic study objectively. Results 18 patients were followed over 10 months postoperatively (range, 10 to 18 months; mean, 13.8 months). The patients were satisfied with their results in terms of reduced foul odor except one patient. No hematoma, infections, skin necrosis, hair loss or hypertrophic scar occurred. And there was quantitative reduction of apocrine glands in microscopic study. Conclusions We suggest that simultaneous apply of liposuction with laser ablation which is clinically and histologically proven method for treatment of axillary osmidrosis could be more effective method than treatment with each method alone, and has same morbidity allowing the patients early exercise. |
