Hidradenitis treatment Los Angeles

Hidradenitis Suppurativa Institute

At the hidradenitis instituted our philosophy involves active treatment of disease that has come back repeatedly despite antibiotic treatment and drainage procedures. Often this requires little more than a limited local excision of the affected area. Occasionally it requires a more extensive removal with reconstruction.

We favor one stage reconstruction without the use of skin grafts. We favor reconstruction and wound closure that does not affect areas outside the location of the hidradenitis. Whenever possible we perform excision and reconstruction that does not require either any additional surgical procedures or prolonged wound care to achieve a elimination of the hidradenitis with healing of all incisions.
