INTRODUCTION: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, relapsing disease of the skin, characterized by apocrine gland and pilosebaceous complex infections, causing recurrent superficial nodules and abscesses, fistula formation, scarring and fibrosis. It is accepted that wide local excision and local coverage is the crucial treatment to prevent recurrence of the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients presenting for surgical treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa between 2014 and 2019 were identified from the hospital database. Only patients with hidradenitis suppurativa confined to the axillary, inguinal or sacrococcygeal regions in Hurley grade II and III were included. A total of 21 patients (11 male, 10 female) aged between 21 and 76 years were evaluated retrospectively. All of the 22 defects were reconstructed with keystone perforator island flap following wide local excision. We performed descriptive analysis of demographic data, comorbidities, topographic distribution of lesions, Hurley scoring, size of defect, specific type of reconstruction, complications, follow-up period, recurrences. RESULTS: 21 patients with localized axillary, inguinal or sacrococcygeal hidradenitis suppurativa were identified, and 22 keystone perforator island flaps were performed. All keystone perforator island flaps survived giving a durable cover to the affected regions. There were no complications. Functional and aesthetic results were satisfactory and there were no recurrences. CONCLUSION: These findings confirm that the keystone perforator island flap procedure can be effective for immediate defect reconstruction after wide local excision of advanced hidradenitis suppurativa of the axillary, inguinal and sacrococcygeal regions and provides excellent aesthetic results.
