A new surgical section of operative laparoscopy was installed in General Hospital of Yaoundé, Cameroon, in April 1992 after many years of collaboration between the University of Clermont–Ferrand and the University of Yaoundé. A total of 735 laparoscopic operations were conducted in the first 5 years. Conditions facilitating such a project are discussed. © 1998 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics
