After recalling the various possible objectives of humanitarian missions in underprivileged countries, the authors describe the context of their plastic surgery missions, each lasting two to three weeks, with the support of Interplast. These missions have been conducted in India, Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam and Afghanistan. The organization is now classical: on site supply of anaesthetic and all disposable material, 50 to 100 operations over a fortnight in a local hospital. The diseases most frequently observed were cleft lip and palate and post-burn skin retractions. The authors emphasize the fact that the mission director must be an experienced surgeon in order to select the most reliable and the simplest procedure. They analyse the meaning of their commitment and the way in which this humanitarian action is perceived by the recipient country.
在回顾了在贫困国家开展人道主义任务的各种可能目标后，作者描述了他们在国际整形外科学会（Interplast）支持下进行的整形手术任务的背景情况，每次任务持续两到三周。这些任务已在印度、巴基斯坦、泰国、越南和阿富汗开展。组织形式现已固定：在当地医院现场提供麻醉剂和所有一次性材料，两周内进行50至100台手术。最常观察到的疾病是唇腭裂和烧伤后皮肤挛缩。作者强调任务负责人必须是经验丰富的外科医生，以便选择最可靠、最简单的手术方法。他们分析了自己所做贡献的意义以及受援国对这种人道主义行动的看法。
