“…This method has been shown to be effective in avoiding problems with wound healing, prolonged discomfort of the compressive dressing, and noticeable scars, which is especially important for young women who wear sleeveless shirts. Among these advantages, our surgical procedure, compared to others, 6,8,16 -21 results in only one small scar, which is important for young patients who are motivated to seek medical treatment because they are concerned about their appearance and do not want others to know that the surgery was performed.…”

Background: Axillary osmidrosis is a distressing problem that can particularly affect a patient’s social life. In severe cases, patients may seek a surgical treatment to achieve a permanent effect. Many treatment techniques involving destruction or removal of the apocrine and eccrine glands have been developed. However, previous treatments have been hindered by surgical or aesthetic concerns. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the hidden blade scalpel procedure in treating axillary osmidrosis. Methods: From December 2012 to December 2016, 372 patients with axillary osmidrosis underwent the hidden blade scalpel procedure. One 5-mm incision was made at approximately 1 cm beyond the axillary hairline. A hidden blade scalpel was then used to remove the subcutaneous tissue, including the plexus, apocrine and eccrine glands, and hair follicles, from the skin. The clinical efficacy was evaluated using a questionnaire. Results: The hidden blade scalpel procedure resulted in a high percentage of patient satisfaction, a much shorter recovery time, and a low complication rate. Conclusion: The hidden blade scalpel procedure is an effective method for the treatment of axillary osmidrosis.

“…To the Editor, I agree with Dr Wiwanitkit that reviewing the literature carefully before publishing a new method is a hall-mark of good research [1]. The description of the minimally invasive technique for treating axillary osmidrosis or hyperhidrosis surgically by ''subcutaneous curettage combined with trimming through a small incision'' is, however, somewhat older than suggested, dating from 1975 and not 2014 [2,3].…”

A case series study describes a minimally invasive surgical technique for removing axillary apocrine glands using blunt scissors. The technique involved making two small incisions, removing the glands using three maneuvers, and evaluating patient satisfaction and post-surgery complications. Of 100 patients, 92% reported being satisfied with the results, with no reported complications. The study suggests this technique is safe and effective, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery with fewer negative cosmetic outcomes. However, further research is needed to assess its long-term efficacy and safety.
