Abstract

The authors has list different surgical emergencies in an hospital in a rural area in Central African Republic, by a retrospective and prospective study. There were 213 cases, distributed among: 88 cases of trauma (41.3%), 78 cases of abdominal emergencies (21.5%), 46 cases of gynaecologic and obstetrical emergencies (21.5%), one case of urologic emergency (0.4%). Those pathologies have been studied through the age and sex of the patients, the different aetiologies and the body areas injured ( for the traumatims). Then they compared their results with those of the others and concluded that an effort must be done in those areas, mainly about the traffic accidents which number are growing.
