    International audienceObjectivesThe objective of this study was to compare the use of artificial dermal and perforator flap after radical surgery of severe axillary and perineal hidradenitis suppurativa disease.Patients and methodsThe data on postoperative outcomes, scar assessment (POSAS) and quality of life (DLQI, SF-36) were collected during consultation or by phone call. Forty-seven patients were included in our study between January 2015 and September 2017, including 27 patients in the artificial dermal group and 20 patients in the perforator flap group.ResultsThe quality of life assessment by the SF-36 questionnaire showed a significant increase in quality of life in both groups (P < 0.05), higher in the perforating flap group (P < 0.001). The DLQI questionnaire showed a decrease in the impact of MV on quality of life in both groups, which was greater in the perforator flap group (P < 0.05). The scarring assessment by the POSAS patient and observer questionnaire showed a better overall opinion in the perforator flap group (P < 0.001). In the perforator flap group, the total hospital stay and healing time was shorter (P < 0.001) and the return to work was faster (P < 0.001).ConclusionThe artificial dermis and the perforator flaps are very useful coverage solutions after radical surgery of hidradenitis suppurativa. The use of perforator flaps, however, seems more interesting while simplifying the post-operative course.ObjectifsL’objectif de cette Ă©tude Ă©tait de comparer les stratĂ©gies de couverture par derme artificiel et par lambeau perforant en hĂ©lice aprĂšs chirurgie radicale de maladie de Verneuil (MV) Ă©voluĂ©e au niveau axillaire et pĂ©rinĂ©al.Patients et mĂ©thodesLes donnĂ©es concernant les suites opĂ©ratoires, le rĂ©sultat (POSAS) et la qualitĂ© de vie (DLQI, SF-36) ont Ă©tĂ© recueillies en consultation ou par tĂ©lĂ©phone. Quarante-sept patients ont Ă©tĂ© inclus dans l’étude entre janvier 2015 et septembre 2017, dont 27 patients dans le groupe derme artificiel et 20 patients dans le groupe lambeau perforant.RĂ©sultatsL’évaluation de la qualitĂ© de vie par le questionnaire SF-36 a montrĂ© une augmentation significative de la qualitĂ© de vie dans les deux groupes (p < 0,05), supĂ©rieure dans le groupe lambeau perforant (p < 0,001). Le questionnaire DLQI a montrĂ© une diminution de l’impact de la MV sur la qualitĂ© de vie dans les deux groupes, plus importante dans le groupe lambeau perforant (p < 0,05). L’évaluation cicatricielle par le questionnaire POSAS patient et observateur a montrĂ© une meilleure opinion globale dans le groupe lambeau perforant (p < 0,001). Dans le groupe lambeau perforant, la durĂ©e d’hospitalisation complĂšte et le dĂ©lai de cicatrisation Ă©tait plus courts, (p < 0,001) et la reprise de l’activitĂ© professionnelle Ă©tait plus rapide (p < 0,001).ConclusionLe derme artificiel et les lambeaux perforants sont des solutions trĂšs utiles dans la couverture de chirurgie radicale de maladie de Verneuil. L’utilisation des lambeaux perforants semble cependant plus intĂ©ressante tout en simplifiant les suites opĂ©ratoires

    International audienceINTRODUCTION:Loxosceles spiders are ubiquitous and responsible for many cases of envenomation in the world. The kind rufescens is present in the Provence and Occitan regions in France. During the summer 2015, we faced many Loxosceles rufescens cases of bites having led to extensive integumental necrosis whose features and singular evolution seems important to report.MATERIAL AND METHODS:We report the cases of nine patients who experienced a spider bite in the summer of 2015 in the Languedoc Roussillon.RESULTS:Of nine patients, eight patients had skin necrosis and five required surgical care. Five patients had a fever and had five other general signs such as important asthenia, joint pain, nausea and dizziness. CRP was very low normal in all patients. Finally, five of the nine patients reported a residual pain.DISCUSSION:L. rufescens is a small spider (7 to 15mm in diameter) having a cytotoxic venom. Loxoscelism diagnosis is usually made by removing a front necrotic skin lesion. Of systemic loxoscelism that have been described, some American species had fatal outcomes. The treatment remains controversial with various options: surgery, antibiotics, antihistaminics, antivenom.CONCLUSION:The diagnosis must be made in endemic areas when confronted to a necrosic integumentary infectious rapidly progressive, unresponsive to antibiotic treatment associated with atypical general signs
