Commonly affected sites include the axilla, groin, perineum and perianal areas. In this study we performed a literature review on the surgical methods for HS and describe an innovative technique for reconstructing axilla HS using an inner-arm transposition flap.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods  We reviewed all cases (5 cases from 4 patients) of transposition flap reconstruction performed by the senior author at a single London tertiary hospital from 2008\u20132013. Patient related outcome measures were collected using the Derriford appearance scale (DAS 24) and a study specific questionnaire.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results  All patients were satisfied with their final result. One out of five cases had a complication but did not result in flap failure. There is no disease recurrence to date. DAS 24 scores collected demonstrated acceptable postoperative distress that did not deviate far from the norm tables while study specific questionnaire reveal desirable outcomes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions  We have managed to achieve our aim through the use of the innovative inner-arm transposition flap. Our study hopes to provide an additional technique for axillary reconstruction. This technique offers the effective concealment of scars with the benefit of tightening of the arm tissue producing \u2018brachioplasty like\u2019 effects. All things considered it would be reasonable to conclude the innovative flap technique is a reliable, effective, and simple method that results in multiple benefits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2017.44.3.228","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,26]],"date-time":"2017-05-26T10:53:53Z","timestamp":1495796033000},"page":"228-233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5999\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Axillary
