“…From this study the mean age of patients with UR from Bladder Tumour was 50.9%; this was also similar to the findings of Ochicha O, et al in a previous study on bladder cancer in Kano [15] in which they found a mean age of 48.8 years. However, it significantly differs from findings in other parts of the world which put the peak incidence of bladder cancer at the seventh decade in England and Wales while the median age was 65 years in the USA [16].…”

“…However, it significantly differs from findings in other parts of the world which put the peak incidence of bladder cancer at the seventh decade in England and Wales while the median age was 65 years in the USA [16]. This is probably because most bladder cancers in Kano were predisposed by previous schistosomiasis [15] which has been shown to present earlier than the one from other risk factors.…”

“…However, the percentage of the patients with bladder tumour is much higher in this study. This could be explained by the high prevalence of bladder tumours in our environment as shown by Ochicha O, et al in an earlier study [15].…”

Background: Urinary retention is one of the common urologic emergencies constituting a significant workload of urologists and non-urologists alike. Aims and Objectives: This study was undertaken to identify the causes and complications associated with urinary retention in adult male patients at AKTH, Kano. Patients and Methods: It was a prospective hospital-based study of 110 consecutive adult male patients who presented to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano with urinary retention over 12 months. On presentation, a brief history was taken and rapid physical examination done; the urinary retention was relieved by urethral catheterization or suprapubic cystostomy. A detailed history and thorough physical examination findings were later obtained. Results: One hundred and ten patients were seen during the study period. There ages ranged from 17 to100 years with a mean of 56 ± 19.3 SD years. Patients within the age range 55 -74 years accounted for the largest group, (25.5% + 23.6% = 49.1%). The most common cause of urinary retention in this study was benign prostatic hyperplasia (51.8% of the patients). This was followed by urethral stricture (20%), cancer of the prostate (7.3%), urethral injury (7.3%) and bladder tumour (6.4%). More than half of the patients (53.4%) presented with acute urinary retention, 30.5% presented with chronic urinary retention, and 16.1% were diagnosed to have acute-onchronic urinary retention. The complications of urinary retention found were: urinary tract infection (in 24.5% of patients), renal impairment (14.5%), and anaemia (11.8%). Conclusion: Urinary retention is commoner among the middle aged and the elderly. Benign prostatic hyperplasia remains the leading cause of urinary retention. Acute urinary retention was the commonest type of urinary retention; however, complications due to the retention were associated with chronic and acute-on-chronic urinary retention. * Corresponding author.

Background:Cancer of the bladder is the ninth leading cause of cancer in developed countries. It is the second most common urological malignancy. Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is the most common histological subtype in developed countries. In most of Africa, the most common type is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Cancer of bladder guidelines produced by the European Urological Association and the American Urological Association, including the tumor, node, and metastasis staging is focused on TCC of the bladder.Objectives:The purpose of the study is to review the pathogenesis, pathology, presentation, and management of cancer of the bladder in Africa and to use this information to propose a practical staging system for SCC.Methods:The study used the meta-analysis guideline provided by PRISMA using bladder cancer in Africa as the key search word. The study collected articles available on PubMed as of July 2017, Africa Online and Africa Index Medicus. PRISMA guidelines were used to screen for full-length hospital-based articles on cancer of the bladder in Africa. These articles were analyzed under four subcategories which were pathogenesis, pathology, clinical presentation, and management. The information extracted was pooled and used to propose a practical staging system for use in African settings.Results:The result of evaluation of 821 articles yielded 23 full-length papers on hospital-based studies of cancer of the bladder in Africa. Cancer of the bladder in most of Africa is still predominantly SCC (53%–69%). There has been a notable increase in TCC in Africa (9%–41%). The pathogenesis is mostly schistosoma-related SCC presents late with painful hematuria and necroturia (20%). SCC responds poorly to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The main management of SCC is open surgery. This review allowed for a practical organ-based stage of SCC of the bladder that can be used in Africa.Conclusion:Bladder cancer in Africa presents differently from that in developed countries. Guidelines on cancer of the bladder may need to take account of this to improve bladder cancer management in Africa.

“…L'objectif de ce travail a été de faire le point de façon rétrospective, sur les lésions anatomopathologiques retrouvées sur les prélève-ments reçus dans le service d'anatomie pathologique du CHU de Lomé pour bilharziose urinaire sur une période de 10 ans. [4] avaient rapporté respectivement un taux de 50,7 et 53 % de carcinome épidermoïde. La question de l'histologie des cancers reliés à la bilharziose, variable en fonction des régions a déjà été soulevée en pays occidental, amenant éventuellement à mettre en cause des cocarcinogènes.…”
