AB - <p>We report our experience of leprosy surgery in terms of feasibility and efficacy in a small hospital of bush in Madagascar during the period of September 1989 to January 1993. Operations of neurolysis, corrections of claw hands by the techniques of Lasso-Zancolli or Van Droogenbroeck, arthrodesis, resections and amputations have been performed. Our results suggest that at least a part of these surgical procedures may be performed by a non specialized medical team, taught on the premises. Thus, the cost of treatment will be low and accessible to more leprosy patients.</p>
