Objective: to report our experience in the management of adult kidney cancer. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective and descriptive study, carried out in the for a period of six years, interesting all the medical records of 24 adult patients diagnosed with kidney cancer. Results: During the study period, 24 patients met our inclusion criteria; the mean age was 48.23 ± 8.02 years with extreme ranging from 17 to 82 years. Most of our patients were female (58.3%), and were referred or consulted for lumbar mass in 66.7% of cases. The average tumor size was 13.6 ± 5.8 cm with extremes of 7.8 to 21.1 cm. Management included total nephrectomy in 50% and total nephrectomy expanded in 50% of cases. The histological type found was renal cell carcinoma in 23 patients and papillary carcinoma in one patient. Conclusion: Kidney cancer is rare in our context, its clinical and histological characteristics remain the same for two decades. Its management is largely based on enlarged total nephrectomy.
The aim was to carry out an epidemioclinical and therapeutic study of fractures of the penis at the Csréf in Markala. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective prospective descriptive study of 13 cases of fracture of the penis during four years at the Csréf of Markala from 01 January 2019 to 01 January 2023. All patients who had a treated penis fracture were included in our study. All patients who had other forms of trauma to the penis other than a penis fracture were excluded. Results: The frequency of fracture of the penis was 14.8% compared to other urological injuries. The average age of our patients was 36.30 years with extremes ranging from 25 to 54 years. 53.8% of our patients were single. The average consultation time was 14.8 hours, with extremes ranging from 3 hours to 47 hours. The approach was longitudinal in some cases and in other cases a circumferential incision or at the level of the balano preputial fold. The most frequent complications were penis bending, with 15.5% (2 patients), urethral fistula was observed in one patient (7.7%), and we also noted cases of fibrosis of the erectile bodies (23.1%). Conclusion: The fracture of the penis is a real uro-andrological emergency, and the treatment must be rapid and effective in order to avoid irreversible after-effects, which may even lead to erectile dysfunction or urethral stricture in these patients. The approach must be appropriate in order to prevent short, medium and late complications.
Summarizes: The objective of this work was to study the clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of urological lesions secondary to gynaeco-obstetrical surgery in the urology department of the Gabriel Touré University Hospital. Material and method: It was a transversal and retrospective study carried out in the urology department of the Gabriel Touré University Hospital Centre in Bamako over 8 years. It focused on the files of 25 patients operated on for a urological lesion secondary to gynaeco-obstetrical surgery. Sociodemographic, epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutionary parameters were analysed. Results: Urologic lesions secondary to gynaeco-obstetrical surgery were found in 0.72% of urologically operated patients. The mean age of the patients was 39 ± 10.4 years (extremes: 18 and 60 years). The average time to diagnosis was 121, 88 ± 15 days (extremes: 0 and 365 days). Clinical signs were: oligo anuria (16%), urine leakage (52%), lumbar pain (24%). The diagnosis was made by the methylene blue test in 56% of patients, by the uro-scanner (20%) and by intravenous urography (16%). In 8% of patients, the diagnosis was made during surgery. The surgical interventions involved were: hysterectomy (48%), cesarean section (40%), genital prolapse cure (8%), ovarian cystectomy (4%). Lesions were dominated by vaginal vesico fistulas (48%) followed by ureterovaginal fistulas (20%), ureteral ligatures (16%). Treatment consisted of ureterovesical reimplantation according to Lich Gregory with ureteral intubation (36%), fistulography (48%). Healing was achieved in 92% of patients. Conclusion: Hysterectomy for cervical malignancy and cesarean section are the
Testicular cancers are tumours of the young adult (15-35 years), and it is a rather rare pathology in African black. However, the risk of developing these cancers becomes higher if the testicle does not descend. In our context, these undescended testicles often go unnoticed, which poses the problem of surveillance. We report a case in a patient of 24 years who consulted for pain plus hypogastric mass, in whom at the end of the clinical, paraclinical and surgical investigations we retained the diagnosis of seminoma of the right testicle. This is the first case in our daily practice. Conclusion: The rarity of tumours on the undescended testicle should not cause their diagnosis to be misunderstood because of the seriousness of cases diagnosed late.
Testicular ectopia is a rare genital malformation belonging to the spectrum of testicular migration abnormalities. Renal agenesis can be unilateral or bilateral, isolated or associated with other malformations (1/4 of renal agenesis is accompanied by genital malformations, and more often affects the left kidney. Few cases are reported in the literature. We report a case in a 28-year-old patient with ectopia of the right testicle in the suprapubic position associated with agenesis of the left kidney, and surgical management consisted of an orchiectomy, with good surgical results.
