Its management depends on the stage and extent of the disease. Surgery plays an important role in treatment options. This study explores the factors influencing healing after wide excision. Methods: This study analyzed data from patients who underwent wide excision for HS between 2016 and 2021. Results: A total of 160 patients (64.4% women) were included, with surgeries performed in the axillae (70), inguinal-ano-genital (73), and other locations (17, including gluteal). The mean TTWC was 74 \u00b1 6 days, varying from 11 to 445 days. Factors negatively influencing TTWC included axillary localization (p &lt; 0.001) and the presence of another inflammatory disease (p = 0.017). Factors positively influencing healing were smoking (&lt;0.001) and previous or ongoing medical treatment (antibiotherapy or biologics) (p = 0.011). Obesity or being overweight did not impact the TTWC in multivariate analysis, although overweight was significant in univariate analysis. Conclusions: While smoking cessation remains important in the management of HS, it does not appear to be a prerequisite for successful surgical treatment. Conversely, patients with an inflammatory disease or those undergoing surgery for an axillary lesion exhibit slower healing and should be informed of potential healing delays before surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13185598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,24]],"date-time":"2024-09-24T08:54:13Z","timestamp":1727168053000},"page":"5598","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Factors Affecting Wound Healing after the Wide Surgical Excision of Hidradenitis Suppurativa Lesions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0270-5090","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne-Cecile","family":"Ezanno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Surgery, Begin Military Teaching Hospital, 94160 Saint-Mand\u00e9, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ga\u00ebtan","family":"Texier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Armed Forces Epidemiology and Public Health Center, 13014 Marseille, France"},{"name":"VITROME, IHU-M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e Infection, Aix Marseille University, 13005 Marseille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joffrey","family":"Marchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Armed Forces Epidemiology and Public Health Center, 13014 Marseille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne-Claire","family":"Fougerousse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Begin Military Teaching Hospital, 94160 Saint-Mand\u00e9, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"619","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.12966","article-title":"European S1 guideline for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa\/acne inversa","volume":"29","author":"Zouboulis","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
