Methods The operative field was marked along the border of hair-bearing area of axilla with a distal margin of 0.5 － 1 cm. Subcutaneous tissue was removed by stroke movement under negative pressure after tumescent anesthesia. Subsequently, Xiaozhiling injection was injected into the subcutaneous space. All the patients were followed for at least 3 months, and therapeutic efficacy was evaluated quantitatively. Results A total of 72 patients （144 sides） with axillary bromhidrosis were treated with this method from March 2009 to May 2012, including 16 males and 56 females aged 14 － 41 years. All the patients experienced primary healing with no necrosis or hematoma formation within one week after the operation. The follow-up lasted 3 to 18 months （average: 8 months）. Among the 144 sides, 133 （92.4%） were cured, 11 （7.6%） were improved, with the response rate being 100%. Postoperative scar is invisible, and patients were satisfied with the treatment outcomes. Conclusion The combined therapy is a simple and effective approach to the treatment of axillary bromhidrosis with a fast recovery and less complications．
