Pour l&rsquo;enlever, il fallait faire appel \u00e0 un chirurgien maxillo-facial.<\/p>\n<p>Selon le Dr Mustapha Kabba, m\u00e9decin-chef adjoint des services cliniques du minist\u00e8re de la sant\u00e9 et de l&rsquo;assainissement de la Sierra Leone, il n&rsquo;y a actuellement aucun chirurgien sp\u00e9cialiste maxillo-facial certifi\u00e9 dans le pays.<\/p>\n<p>Le Dr Mark Shrime, m\u00e9decin-chef international de Mercy Ships, \u00e9tait le chirurgien principal de l&rsquo;op\u00e9ration d&rsquo;Emmanuel. Il a expliqu\u00e9 que sans intervention chirurgicale, la tumeur aurait probablement continu\u00e9 \u00e0 cro\u00eetre, ce qui \u00ab\u00a0aurait ouvert la voie \u00e0 des complications potentiellement graves \u00ab\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>L&rsquo;ablation de la tumeur d&rsquo;Emmanuel n&rsquo;a pris que 48 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Emmanuel avait cach\u00e9 l&rsquo;op\u00e9ration \u00e0 son fils et \u00e0 son p\u00e8re pour leur faire la surprise. \u00ab\u00a0J&rsquo;esp\u00e8re des r\u00e9sultats positifs\u00a0\u00bb, avait-il murmur\u00e9 juste avant l&rsquo;op\u00e9ration.<\/p>\n<p>Mais apr\u00e8s l&rsquo;op\u00e9ration r\u00e9ussie, il n&rsquo;a pas pu r\u00e9sister \u00e0 l&rsquo;envie de partager la nouvelle avec sa famille &#8211; il a imm\u00e9diatement appel\u00e9 son p\u00e8re et son fils pour leur annoncer son op\u00e9ration.<\/p>\n<p>Avant qu&rsquo;Emmanuel ne quitte son domicile pour monter \u00e0 bord, sa tante, qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 t\u00e9moin de son combat et de sa d\u00e9termination, a exprim\u00e9 son plus grand espoir : \u00ab\u00a0Apr\u00e8s l&rsquo;op\u00e9ration, j&rsquo;esp\u00e8re qu&rsquo;il pourra revenir vite et raconter ce qu\u2019il a v\u00e9cu.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Alors qu&rsquo;il se r\u00e9tablissait \u00e0 bord, les pens\u00e9es d&rsquo;Emmanuel se tournaient vers l&rsquo;avenir et toutes les possibilit\u00e9s qui s&rsquo;offraient \u00e0 lui. \u00ab\u00a0Je vais continuer mon activit\u00e9&#8230; Je n&rsquo;ai plus \u00e0 m&rsquo;inqui\u00e9ter\u00a0\u00bb, dit-il.
