Abstract
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent, suppurative, cutaneous disease, manifested by abscesses, fistulating sinus tracts and scarring (Brown, Rosen, & Orengo, 1998). After failed conservative management, surgical excision is the only definitive option (Edlich et al. 1986). There are several approaches to the excision and wound closure of axillary HS, mostly involving radical excision with associated risks of poor wound healing despite advanced wound closure techniques. We present a case series using the Modified Skoog approach for the management of axillary HS as a skin sparing technique that offers adequate wound healing, a short hospital stay and high patient satisfaction.
