[Plastic surgery training missions in developing countries. A 10-year experience at missions in Mali].
Humanitarian plastic surgery missions are often a substitute, as plastic surgery training missions are essential for the development of plastic surgery in developing countries. This training must be progressive and adapted to the country's needs. Several simple plastic surgery techniques are sufficient to treat a large number of patients: split-skin grafts, full-thickness skin grafts, Z-plasties, latissimus dorsi myocutaneous pedicle flap.
