The stages of various surgical approaches to the shoulder of a dog:
Les tissus sous-cutanés sont afouillés puis réclinés crânialement et caudalement afin de mettre en évidence le chef acromial du muscle deltoïde.
-and-
Le tissu sous-cutané est afouillé caudalement à la veine omo-brachiale (2) qui est réclinée.
The word appears about 5 times in total, all in very similar contexts, and is always spelt with one "f".
Having looked at uses of the word "affouiller/affouillement" (2 f's) in geological documents, I thought perhaps "undercut", but although this word is used in surgical documents, it seems to be mainly with plastic surgery, not joint surgery so i'm not sure if it's right.

exposed
As part of the dissection process, the tissues are exposed, anatomical elements identified and those to be preserved are retracted from the op site to protcet them from being cut.

: exposed might work, though the goal of the dissection is not to expose the subcutaneous tissue...

retracted
this isn't very common usage; "affouillement" means something like erosion, as you mentioned in a geological context.
So it would read something like "the subcutaneous tissues were retracted and pulled back cranially and caudally"
another possibility would be "dissected and retracted"

Note from asker:
| If the tissue is debrided, how can it then be reflected? |
Discussion
Wendy Leech: 11:15 Dec 4, 2008: I would naturally have gone for something along those lines, but based on http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/medical/86615-r%... I used reflected, and the term has been approved by the client
Drmanu49: 11:20 Dec 4, 2008: In any case, if the term is validated, it is not used in the reports I have seen up to now and it is given as synonymous for "dissecting and turning or bending back the outer layers of skin". No risk in using more common words here IMO Wendy.
