Surgery remains a viable option for faster relief in hidradenitis suppurativa, expert says
Dermatology expert Dr. Amit Garg argues that surgery should no longer be viewed as a last resort for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), despite the recent wave of effective systemic anti-inflammatory therapies. While new targeted treatments have expanded options for controlling HS activity, surgery can offer faster resolution of highly symptomatic lesions. The traditional view of surgery as a treatment of last resort has shifted, with ambulatory surgery now considered a viable option for faster clinical benefit in appropriate cases.
