Surgical Management of Genitoperineal Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Men

Genitoperineal HS is a debilitating and disfiguring disease that results in the need for repeated abscess drainage operations, chronically painful skin boils, and chronic foul-smelling infectious discharge. It can be associated with lymphedema of surrounding tissues, requiring removal of tissues not originally affected by the disease. The use of complete resection and reconstruction with skin flaps and grafts provides a viable treatment option for these patients.
