%X Sugio et al.1 have recently published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open a very interesting case report entitled ˇ°Reconstruction after Excision of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Are Skin Grafts Better than Flaps?ˇ± They present a case of bilateral inguinal hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) that was first treated with excision and bilateral inguinal flaps. Due to flap loss in the right side, a mesh skin grafting was performed. Based on the observation that the patient presented (there was recurrence in the left side but no recurrence at the right side), they concluded that ˇ°ˇ­skin grafting, which does not contain cutaneous appendages, may be superior to flap repair or primary closure in terms of recurrence.
