Abstract:
Objective:To compare clinical efficacy and safety of peripheral to central pruning of apocrine sweat glands versus along small incision of apocrine sweat glands in the treatment of axillary bromhidrosis.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study method was used to recruit patients with armpit odor admitted to the Department of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from June to October 2022. The patients were divided into the experimental group (underwent peripheral to central pruning of apocrine sweat glands with small incision of axillary fold under direct view) and the control group (apocrine sweat glands were cut off along the direction of small incisions) by randomization. The occurrence of postoperative complications such as hematoma, infection, skin necrosis, delayed incision healing, scar and skin contracture were observed in both groups, and the incidence rate was calculated. The surgical effect was evaluated 6 months after the operation, and the number of cured, markedly effective, and ineffective sides was counted, and the cure rate and effective rate were calculated; the satisfaction was investigated and divided into two options: satisfactory and dissatisfied, and the satisfaction rate was calculated. Count data were analyzed using the chi-square test. P<0.05 indicated that the difference was statistically significant. Results:A total of 52 patients were recruited. Experimental group, 26 patients (52 side), 6 male, 20 women, aged 18-31 years, mean of 22 years; control group, 26 patients (52 side), 6 male, 20 women, aged 18-47 years, mean of 21 years. The incidence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was 3.85% (2 / 52), which was lower than 19.23% (10/52) of the control group, with statistically significant difference ( χ2=3.98, P=0.046), in which the flap necrosis, local contracture, scarring and delayed incision healing were better than the control group. The postoperative response rate in both groups was 100%(52/52), but the cure rate in the experimental group was higher than the control group [96.15% (50/52) vs. 80.77% (42/52)], with a significant difference ( χ2=6.03, P=0.014). The satisfaction rate of the experimental group was 96.15% (50/52), higher than the 82.69% (43/52) of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.92, P=0.026). Conclusion:Compared with the traditional small incision of peripheral to central pruning method and the traditional small incision of apocrine sweat glands method, the cure rate of the former is higher, which can effectively protect the skin flap dermis and subdermal vascular network around the incision, reduce postoperative skin necrosis and scar, and improve patient satisfaction.
