title: Limberg flap coverage for axillary defects resulting from excision of hidradenitis suppurativa.
abstract: After excision of the apocrine gland containing tissue, we advocate wound closure with a Limberg flap. Our results to date suggest that this approach, which combines definitive treatment with surgical economy, warrants an aggressive attitude toward even early cases of axillary "apocrinitis".
