Brief summary
The Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery department of Montpellier was born out of the Wound and Healing department, the first unit of this type to be created in Europe. The investigators quickly became the national leader in the management of pressure ulcers, especially in people with spinal cord injuries. Our expertise has evolved over time as well as our surgical techniques for covering ulcers, gradually over time the investigators have gone from random flaps to propeller flaps, more reliable in terms of vascularization and more logical in terms of force distribution and skin tension. The investigators found subjectively that the rate of complications was lower for the helical flaps. The investigators therefore seek to confirm this trend through a retrospective study on patients operated on in the department between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2019.
