title: Treatment of long-standing extensive perianal hidradenitis suppurativa using double rotation plasty, V-Y plasty and free grafts.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Perianal hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic recurrent inflammatory, suppurating, and fistulizing disease of apocrine glands, adjacent anal canal skin, and soft tissues. The standard treatment used for extensive cases is a staged surgical procedure allowing the wound to heal by secondary intention or the delayed use of skin grafts.
  
  
  METHODS
  A long-standing case, disabling for the patient, with extensive involvement of the buttock region, treated in one stage, which for reconstruction required the use of sliding plasties and free skin grafts, is reported.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The outcome was satisfactory. Primary closure after wide excision using plastic-surgery techniques may help us resolve complex situations and obtain good results and a rapid recovery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The method of closure with a combination of skin flaps and skin graft in one stage can be considered a valid surgical option for a group of patients with extensive perianal hidradenitis.
