Although a number of different reconstructive techniques have been described for the treatment of axillary skin defects, split-thickness skin grafting continues to be the most common surgical modality. Here, we present our recent experience of using split-thickness skin grafts together with negative-pressure dressings for the management of defects following wide surgical excision of severe hidradenitis suppurativa. This technique ensures complete skin-graft take whilst allowing full shoulder mobility, thereby minimising the undesirable sequelae associated with split-thickness skin grafting alone.
