Clinical analysis of tumescent anesthesia technique combined with superficial fascia rotational atherectomy in axillary bromhidrosis.

Axillary bromhidrosis, which involves the apocrine sweat glands, severely affects adolescents. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of tumescent anesthesia technique combined with superficial fascia rotational atherectomy treatment for axillary bromhidrosis. The present retrospective study included a total of 60 patients with axillary bromhidrosis. These patients were divided into experimental and control groups. Patients in the control group were treated using the tumescent anesthesia technique combined with conventional surgery, while patients in the experimental group were treated using the anesthesia technique combined with superficial fascia rotational atherectomy. The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, histopathological examination and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) score were used to assess the treatment effect. The intraoperative blood loss and operation time were significantly lower in the experimental group compared with the control group. The histopathological results revealed that the sweat gland tissues in experiment group significantly decreased compared with that in control group. Furthermore, there was a significant improvement in axillary odor degree for postoperative patients, and the DLQI scores in experiment group were significantly lower compared with those in control group. The tumescent anesthesia technique combined with superficial fascia rotational atherectomy is a promising approach to treating patients with axillary bromhidrosis.
