title: [Field realities: surgical activities in an isolated medical station].
abstract: The authors, general practitioners graduate at the Tropical Medicine Institute (Le Pharo-Marseille-France), report on their surgical activities for 22 months in the isolated medical post of Kaedi (Mauritania). They put emphasis on the necessity of a multidisciplinary teaching and training before any posting in this type of hospital, not important enough to receive specialized practitioners.
