Comparison of lateral thoracic random flap and parascapular random flap for the treatment of severe hidradenitis suppurativa

Background and Aim: This study is executed to compare two common reconstructive surgeries in suppurative hidradenitis. Methods: Patients with severe supporutive hidradenitis who had operations to excise their axillary lesions and then treated with two standard surgical repair techniques (lateral thoracic flap vs parascapular pedicle flap) were evaluated in a retrospective cohort study. Assessm...
