Kwesi O. Nsaful*, E. O. Apraku-Boadu, A Antwi- Afriyie

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic and disfiguring skin disease characterized by multiple abscesses and sinuses. It can affect any area with apocrine sweat glands and has the potential to involve multiple sites concurrently. Commonly affected sites include the axilla, groin, perineum, and perianal areas. In this report, we describe an innovative technique for reconstructing axilla HS using an inner-arm transposition flap.
