Abstract: Objective To investigate the effectiveness of endoscope-assisted motor-driven negative pressure suction cutter in the surgical treatment of axillary osmidrosis.Methods From December 2015 to June 2018,121 patients(242 sides)with axillary osmidrosis were treated with endoscope-assisted minimally invasive motor-driven negative pressure suction cutter.A 0.5-1 cm incision was made in the axillary crease.Subcutaneous tissue and glands,including apocrine sweat gland,were excised with motor-driven suction cutter until the flap was trimmed to approximately full thickness under endoscope.After scraping and rinsing the operation space,the skin was punched and fixed with vaseline gauze nail.After operation,custom clothes for axillary osmidrosis were put on.Results All patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months.Among the 242 sides of axillae treated,good malodor elimination was achieved in 239 sides,fair malodor elimination was achieved in 3 sides.All patients were satisfied with the therapeutic outcome.Conclusion Endoscope-assisted minimally invasive motor-driven suction cutter has the advantages of visualization,minimal invasive,reliable effect,less postoperative complications and high patient satisfaction,which is worthy of clinical promotion.
