Introduction. Acne inversa is a recurrent, suppurative disease manifestedby abscesses, fistulas and scarring.Many conservative therapies areusually disappointing, and an early surgical intervention often remainsthe only successful treatment. This condition has a significant impact onthe quality of the patient’s life; therefore there is a need for introductionof effective therapeutic modalities at every stage of the disease.Objective. Presentation of two innovative techniques of wound closureafter surgical excision of the affected skin areas.Case report. A 42-year-old female patient suffering from acne inversa,treated previously with ineffective methods based on a conservativeapproach, was operated on with the use of tumescent infiltration anaesthesiaand our own surgical techniques such as the “star-like” and“pubic flaps” techniques.Conclusions. Presented data show unequivocally that our own methodsof surgical wound closure are highly effective and that a patientwith acne inversa can tolerate it well. We encourage the use of thesetechniques, but choosing the best option requires an individualapproach.
