My stay in the Urology Unit of Necker's hospital in my last year of residency in 1960 was a decisive turning point in my career. My training as resident in the urologic department was planned for one half year, however it was extended to five half years of clinicat, after that professor Couvelaire invited me to participate to a competitive exam of professor in urology which held in December 1962. The medical school of Algiers, the only known active institution in Maghreb, planned an appointment of urologic surgeon. ⋯ Several new techniques were introduced in Tunisia recently such as "l'urodynamique", interventional endoscopy and kidney transplantation. On June the 6th, 1986 the first kidney transplantation was performed, and during three years I performed 60 kidney transplantations. This event provided enthusiasm of young physicians and surgeons who were avid for novelty in the field of transplantation.
