A new approach in axillary hidradenitis treatment: the scapular island flap.
The scapular island flap technique has been used in the treatment of seven cases of axillary hidradenitis suppurativa. This flap, providing a smooth skin surface with good elastic properties, easily covers the axilla and permits the cutaneous reconstruction of the involved axillary tissue excision with satisfying aesthetic, functional results and a rapid local cicatrization. The donor site was closed by primary suture.
