Laparoscopic surgery is now a widely accepted modality for gastrointestinal surgery. In this report the authors evaluate their four-year experience with laparoscopic surgery in a total of 494 patients in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Cholecystectomy and appendectomy were the main indications in this series. However laparoscopic surgery has a wide range of applications in Black Africa not only for elective indications such as evaluation of chronic abdominal pain and digestive cancer but also emergency indications such as peritonitis and abdominal trauma.

The purpose of this report is to describe two cases involving a 43-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic surgery for dolichocolon causing severe constipation. In both cases the procedure consisted of left colectomy with colorectal anastomosis. There was no operative mortality or morbidity. The outcome on constipation was good. This study demonstrates the utility of laparoscopy for treatment of dolichocolon in carefully selected patents.

The authors report the first case of Crohn's disease in Côte-d'Ivoire. A 20-year-old Ivorian man presented chronic diarrhea and weight loss over six years. Ulcerated lesions were found throughout the colon extending to the terminal ilieum but not involving the rectum. Diagnosis of Crohn's disease was established on radiological and histological findings. Treatment consisted of total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. This case is of special interest because of the extremely low incidence of Crohn's disease in black Africa.

Enfermedad de CrohnRESUMEN
La chirurgie laparoscopique fait partie integrante de l'arsenal therapeutique en chirurgie digestive. Les auteurs font le bilan de quatre annees d'experience a propos de 494 patients operes par cette methode a Abidjan; Cote d'Ivoire. Si les indications essentielles sont representees par les cholecystectomies et les appendicectomies; le champ d'application de la coeliochirurgie est interessant en Afrique Noire tant en chirurgie reglee (exploration laparoscopique des douleurs abdominales chroniques et des cancers digestifs) qu'en chirurgie d'urgence (peritonite; contusion abdominale)
