[Interplast in India. Review of 14 years].

Interplast teams conducted two-week (or less) camps in India over a 14 year period. The majority of the teams were mixed and consisted of German and Dutch plastic surgeons and nurses. In five different villages and cities, 1015 patients were operated: 41% concerned cleft lip and palate and 32% post-burn contractures. The work is rewarding and is considered by some the best holiday imaginable. The teams intend to continue their project in the future.
