HYPERHIDROSIS KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE
OCTOBER 2006: Surgical Treatments for Hyperhidrosis
Medical Publication:
Surgical treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis:
A study comparing liposuction cannulas with a suction-curettage cannula.
Annal of Plastic Surgery 56(6):654-7, 2006.
Synopsis: These surgeons prefer the suction-curettage technique for excessive underarm sweating.
As we have seen above, there are different techniques available for treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis, a.k.a. underarm sweating. Suction-curettage is a surgical procedure that is less invasive than ETS. It involves the numbing of the underarm area with the insertion of a suction cannula, similar to liposuction, and the scraping of the sweat glands in the underarms. These authors compared the success rates of different suction techniques. Sweating was reduced by 44 percent using the 1-hole liposuction cannula and by 62 percent using the suction-curettage cannula. As opposed to the previous studies, there were no severe side effects.
Conclusion: What is more important to you? To totally eliminate sweating, but run the risk of side effects, or to reduce sweating by 50 percent without the risk of side effects? That is the difference between ETS surgery for axillary hyperhidrosis and suction techniques. For some people with excessive underarm sweating, a 50% reduction is not enough to make a difference. But it certainly is reassuring that there are no significant short-term side effects from the suction technique to reduce excessive underarm sweating (however, long-term studies are yet to be performed).
