Minimally Invasive (Rotary Knife) Parietal Gland Resection
People nearby will be affected by the scent of body odor, and it will also interfere with social interactions. It is important to understand that there are two primary sweat glands in the human body before treating body odor:
1. Eccrine glands: found all over the body, their primary purpose is to produce perspiration and allow the body to cool off.
2. Apocytic glands, often referred to as apocrine glands, are found mostly in the armpit, near the areola, and around the perineum; the components of the sweat they generate will be broken down by bacteria, producing a disagreeable stench. It is the primary reason behind body odor.

The expertise of Dr. Chen in patient care is "surgical comparison." All of the aforementioned techniques call for open dialogue between the patient and the doctor to choose the best surgical approach.
Minimally Invasive (Rotary Knife) Parietal Gland Resection
The apocrine gland is located at the bottom of the dermis of the skin and opens at the root of the armpit hair, so before the operation, the range of the armpit hair will be marked, and then a small wound (about 1 cm) will be opened in the armpit, and a rotary knife will be used to enter the armpit through this small wound, Using the principle of suction and scraping with a rotating scraper, the apocrine glands within the marked range were removed. After surgery, gauze balls should be used to fix the scraped skin to avoid hematoma and skin necrosis.
The operation requires a one-centimeter wound under the armpit, which is a six-month postoperative scar.

Recovery Process and Post-operative Care
1. After the operation, there will be gauze balls on both sides of the armpits for pressure and fixation for a week. The shoulders should not be raised or moved significantly; before the gauze ball is removed, do not take a shower, only take a shower
2. Prophylactic antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, detumescence, hemostasis, and other oral medicines will be given for three days after surgery;
3. Remove the gauze around 7 days after the operation
4. If there is a wound after dismantling the gauze ball, an ointment will be prescribed to change the dressing. Change the dressing once in the morning and evening. Use normal saline or boiled water to clean the wound, and clean the scab, secretions and old ointment. , and then apply the new ointment
5. The degree of postoperative bruising and swelling varies from person to person. Generally, it is most obvious 3 or 4 days after the operation, and most patients can be relieved about two weeks after the operation.
6. Avoid strenuous activities after surgery, such as heavy training, running, mountaineering, rock climbing…etc. It can increase blood pressure and cause bleeding, or open wounds.
7. The diet is generally normal, but avoid tobacco, alcohol and spicy food (too spicy and salty)

Sequelae and Complications
1. There is a risk of axillary hematoma and skin necrosis.
2. Any operation has risks of infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, etc.
3. Any surgery will leave scars, but the plastic surgeon will carefully suture and use very thin sutures to hide the scars in the skin folds and hair edges, so that the scars are not obvious and difficult to find. Even so, before the scar is stabilized, it may still be temporarily red, raised (1-2 months after the operation), itchy, and numb, but generally it will gradually fade after two months to six months after the operation. obvious.
