Hypertrophie bénigne de la prostate (HBP) géante: Aspects épidémiologiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques Giant Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH): Epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects

No abstract

Aim: To report the epidemiological and diagnostic aspects and evaluate the management of urological emergency in a university hospital. Patients and method: We conducted a single-center retrospective descriptive study over the period January 2015 to December 2017. We collected medical records of patients with urological emergency referred by the urology care team in our center. Results: Three hundred patients were identified over a period of 36 months. The mean age of the patients was 47.8±22.9 years (2 years -92 years). The sex-ratio was 10.5. The most common emergency was haematuria (25.6%) and urinary retention (21.6%). Urogenital infections were noted in 19% of patients mostly scrotal cellulitis (10%) and acute pyelonephritis (3.6%). The number of emergency hospitalization was 230 (76.7%). We performed 143 emergency surgical procedures (47.6%). The overall mortality rate was 1%. Conclusion: Urological emergency were dominated in our context by hematuria and urinary retention occurring most often in young adults. However, infectious and lithiasic diseases remain common conditions.

L’éléphantiasis vulvo-clitoridien d'origine filarienne est une affection très rare. Nous rapportons un nouveau cas chez une femme de 33 ans suivie dans un service de Maladies Infectieuses pour filariose lymphatique. Elle avait une masse vulvo-clitoridienne qui évoluait depuis plus de 10 ans. Une résection clitoridienne et une plastie vulvaire a été réalisée. Les résultats fonctionnels et esthétiques étaient satisfaisants.

Background: Penile cancer is a rare malignancy in Senegal. This rarity is probably related to the fact that circumcision, which has a protective effect, is a common practice in childhood. Some of the known risk factors include uncircumcised status, chronic inflammatory conditions, and a history of condyloma acuminata, smoking, and possibly human papillomavirus exposure. It is a pathology in adults with a maximum incidence after the age of 50. In our practice penile cancer is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage or only a radical and mutilating treatment may be proposed. Aims: To describe the clinical and therapeutic features of penis cancer in Senegal. Patients and methods: we carried out a retrospective, descriptive, bicentric study, collecting the records of patients with penis cancer in the Urology-Andrology department of the Aristide Le Dantec University hospital and the military hospital of Ouakam between January 2010 and December 2019. Results: fourteen cases of penile cancer were diagnosed. The mean age was 53.2 years with extremes of 29 and 84 years, the average consultation time was 21 months. All patients were circumcised in childhood. The tumor was limited to the glans in 2 cases and involved the entire penis in 5 cases. Six patients had bilateral inguinal adenopathies. The histological type was squamous cell carcinoma in all cases with a predominance of grade 2 (8 cases). Patients were classified as cT3 (7 cases), cT2 (5 cases), cT4 (1 case) and cT1 (1 case). Treatment consisted of partial amputation of the penis (5 cases), emasculation and perineal urethrostomy (4 cases) total amputation and perineal urethrostomy (2 cases). Three patients had refused total penis amputation. The average length of follow-up was 26 months (4 and 72 months), 3 lymph nodes recurrences and 2 local recurrences were observed. Two patients died among the operated patients. Conclusion: Cancer of the penis is rare in Senegal. The delay in diagnosis explains the frequency of advanced forms which can only be treated by radical surgery.

Background: Over the last 50 years, endourology has revolutionized urological practices worldwide. This is not so in many urological centers in West Africa. Although, some centers have made progress in the level of urological services that they offer; many of such centers provide rigid urethrocystoscopy services. Rigid urethrocystoscopy is an endoscopic examination that explores the urethra, bladder and prostate in men. Aims: We report the indications, results and pain assessment of rigid urethrocystoscopy in our center. Patients and Methods: We carried out a retrospective, descriptive, monocentric study in our center between January 2016 and June 2018. The study included all patients who had a rigid urethrocystoscopy under local anaesthesia. We studied the following parameters: sex, age, indications for the examination, outcomes and the pain assessment. Results: Five hundred and forty-one patients were included. The sex-ratio was 1.49. The mean age was 49.47 ± 18.48 years (12 years and 91 years). Lower urinary tract symptoms (29%) and hematuria (28%) were the most common indications. The rigid urethrocystoscopy was normal in 26.8% of patients. Bladder tumors (21.2%) were the most frequent lesions. In men, prostate tumors were more common (21%) followed by bladder tumors (17.9%), while in women, bladder tumors (26.3%) were predominant followed by cystopathy lesions (12.4%).The mean Simple Verbal Scale (SVS) score was 1.25 in women and 2.1 in men. Conclusion: Rigid urethrocystoscopy was relatively well tolerated by our patients. Hematuria was the primary indication and the main etiologies were bladder and prostate tumors.

Background Hypospadias is the second most frequent congenital condition in boys after cryptorchidism, with an incidence of 0.3–0.7% compared to 2–4% for cryptorchidism. Since the 1980s, single-stage operations, such as the one described by Duckett, have been adopted by some authors. To assess the results of hypospadias surgery by tubed pedicled preputial island flap (DUCKETT’s procedure) in a West African reference hospital. Methods This is a retrospective and descriptive study that includes 41 patients with hypospadias who underwent DUCKETT procedure by a tubed pedicled preputial island flap during a period of 12 years. After penile degloving, the curvature has been corrected by skin bridging with or without Nesbit’s plication. The urethroplasty was done according to the DUCKETT procedure. Results The patients mean age was 11 ± 8.5 years. All of them had posterior foreskin and a ventral curvature of the penis. The urethral meatus was posterior in 37%. Six of them had a previous hypospadias repair. The complication rate was 58.5%. Wound infection and meatal stenosis occurred in 14.6% and 19.6% of cases, respectively. After a mean follow-up of 20 ± 9 months, total success, relative success and failure rates were 63%, 27% and 10%, respectively. Conclusion The DUCKETT procedure is associated with a high complication rate in our daily practice.
