Abstract
To investigate the efficacy and safety of suction-curettage with a combination of two different cannulae for treatment of axillary osmidrosis and hyperhidrosis. Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent surgery from September 2004 to September 2006. Outpatient clinic for hyperhidrosis at a university-affiliated hospital. Sixty-five patients who were treated for axillary malodor and hyperhidrosis. Patients were sequentially treated with Fatemi and Cassio cannulae. Demographic data, severity data (assessment of malodor), degree of satisfaction, sweating, hair growth, scarring, recurrence and complications. Sixty of the 65 patients (96.9%) had excellent to fair results, and only 2 patients (3.1%) had poor results. Complications occurred in 4 patients (6.2%). Recurrence occurred in 3 patients (4.6%). This simplified and inexpensive method resulted in a high success rate with low complications and high satisfaction with minimal scarring and rapid recovery.Keywords
