How Axillary Sweat Gland Curettage/Suction Curettage is performed
This procedure is often performed under local anesthesia or sedation. A small incision is made in the armpit, and a suction cannula is inserted to separate and remove the glands, mainly apocrine sweat glands, under the dermis. Illumination is used to determine the scope if necessary. Hemostasis and irrigation are then performed, followed by compression bandaging, with drainage as needed. Postoperative monitoring focuses on bleeding, hematoma, and infection, with the goal of reducing odor and sweating. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
