Subcutaneous apocrine glands shaving

A 0.5-cm long incision was made in the identified elliptical surgical area at each axilla for the access of arthroscopy to remove the apocrine glands. A suction-assisted cartilage shaver (E9005 System, Linvatec Corporation, Largo, Florida, USA) was introduced through the incisions to remove of the subcutaneous apocrine glands radially. After defatting, the incisions were closed primarily with 4-0 polyglactin. We anchored the defatting skin to the axillary fascia by 4-0 nylon sutures instead of the tie-over dressing or tissue glues, and we also made several drainage holes by inserting an 18G needle obliquely into the defatting skin. Therefore, draining tubes were no longer needed. We will remove the stiches at the 8th day after the operation.
