Patients and methods: It was about a retrospective study of 45 months carried out in the service of surgery "A" of the CHU of the Point G All the patients having undergone an intervention by technique coeliochirurgicale with or without conversion into conventional surgery were retained.

Results: for 45 months, 426 patients profited from the technique, i.e., 18.99% of the patients operated in the service for this period. The most frequent indications were the gynaecological surgery (61.27%), with pathologies tubaires, followed digestive surgery (33.33%) with the lithiasic cholécystite and acute appendicitis. The parietal surgery and the "staging" of cancerous pathologies represented respectively (3.05%) and (2.35%). Conversion into conventional surgery related to 7.5% of patients. We listed few accidents and incidental per operational. The duration of the hospital stay shorter was compared with that of the conventional surgery. The operational continuations were simple in 97.9% of the cases.
