- On November 5, 2021, a tanker explosion in Freetown, Sierra Leone, caused a fire incident resulting in injuries and fatalities, prompting an emergency response led by the WHO and local health authorities.
- The study examines how Sierra Leone managed this crisis, focusing on the role of international Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) in providing essential medical care and support to the affected hospitals.
- Key findings show effective coordination by local authorities, successful deployment of EMTs, and additional healthcare services like reconstructive surgery and psychosocial support, ultimately enhancing local clinicians' skills and community appreciation for the medical teams.
This study sought foremost to evaluate the outcomes of applying the induced membrane technique (IMT) for tibia reconstruction within the context of a sub-Saharan Africa trauma center. Second, this study aimed to elucidate the conditions of IMT usage in a limited-resource setting. A retrospective study was performed among patients treated via IMT for posttraumatic tibial bone defects who had follow-up data available for at least 12 months.

Introduction: Soft-tissue coverage is a crucial step when treating open tibial fractures, which is often performed by orthopedic surgeons in a low resource setting. The objective of this study was to analyze the use of non-microsurgical flaps to treat such injuries in a West African trauma center.
Hypothesis: Pedicled flaps are reliable procedures that can be used by any orthopedic surgeon for soft-tissue coverage in the leg.
Purpose: We sought to evaluate the management of Gustilo type IIIB open tibia diaphyseal fractures in an African trauma center with respect to soft tissue defect management and bone union achievement. Functional outcome assessment was the secondary objective.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted including patients treated for open tibia fractures requiring flap coverage between 2007 and 2011.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the managment of obstructive colorectal cancer and to evaluate the different surgical methods.
Patients Et Methods: This retrospective, descriptive and analytical study was carry out from january 2008 to december 2014 in the visceral surgery department of Hospital Principal of Dakar and included 37 patients treated for obstructive colorectal cancer. The parameters studied were age, gender, unit of provenance, antecedents, clinical and paraclinical examination data, treatment and evolution.
