Surgical Treatment of Hidradenitis

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin condition that causes painful, pus-filled nodules, abscesses, and fistulas in areas rich in sweat glands, most commonly under the arms, in the groin, and the gluteal region.

The disease is unpredictable and often leads to recurring inflammation, which significantly affects the quality of life for patients.

In more severe cases, deep scars and tunnels can form under the skin, making treatment even more difficult.

Conservative treatment methods, such as antibiotics and corticosteroids, often do not provide lasting results.

Surgical removal of the affected tissue is a necessary step in these situations.

Thanks to modern techniques, it is possible to achieve long-term relief and prevent new outbreaks of the changes.

At Medical Time hospital, the surgery is performed under controlled conditions with expert supervision and minimal risk.

Depending on the affected tissue, the surgery may involve simple removal of nodules, excision of the entire area, or wide surgical resection with primary closure or skin transplantation.

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia and lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size and depth of the lesion.

After the diseased tissue is removed, the wound is either stitched or left to heal secondarily, which is decided on an individual basis.

The surgeon decides on the best technique for wound closure to reduce the risk of infection and improve the aesthetic outcome.

In more complex cases, plastic surgery or skin grafting is used to close larger defects.

Special attention is paid to preserving the functionality and mobility of the operated area.

The patient returns home the same day or stays briefly in the hospital for monitoring, depending on the scope of the surgery.
