Résumé / Abstract
One of the peculiarities of the organization of emergency surgery in France is... that there is no specific organization! While few departments of emergency surgery exist, nearly all surgical departments that participate in this activity have neither a dedicated organization nor specialized practitioners. And yet, emergency surgery represents a major portion of activity in our discipline. Despite this high volume of emergency cases, the present-day image, dynamism and attractiveness of academic emergency surgery does not correspond with its rich history, particularly for young surgeons. It is time to recognize these difficulties and to seriously reflect on the organization and quality of care in France in the light of experience from other countries, in order to restore emergency surgery to the place it deserves.
