Abstract
The surgical management of pressure ulcers remains very expensive even if preventive measures and improved care pathways allowed to reduce spending in this domain in recent years. Since 2004, the funding of French hospitals by "fee-for-service" and the needs of saving health spending necessarily compels us to interest ourselves in these purely economic considerations and sometimes modify our requirements for hospital stay to optimize a "patient' valorisation group". In the future, this may lead the surgeon to bias the real needs of the patient for the benefit of hospital establishment. Through a medico-economic analysis of our practices conducted in the plastic surgery department of the University hospital of Toulouse, we tried to identify how to optimize the surgical management of pressure ulcers in terms of valorisation of hospital stay. The aim is still to remain critical about the aberrations that this could introduce in the future for our clinical activity.
