Our study aimed to present the epidemiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of HUR in a Senegalese academic hospital. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 70 patients with HUR associated with renal failure from January 2017 to December 2020. Parameters examined included: age, sex, coexisting conditions affecting renal function, clinical symptoms, diagnostic tests, causes of HUR, urinary diversion, and patient outcomes. Results: The average age was 66, with a majority of male patients (87%). Twenty-three patients had pre-existing medical conditions. Oligo-anuria was the most common reason for detecting HUR (70%). Half of the patients had an ECOG score ≥ 2. The mean creatinine level was 50.7 mg/l. Nineteen patients exhibited hydroelectrolytic disorders. Bacterial colonization was observed in 25 patients. Ultrasound and computed tomography were the most frequently performed imaging tests (100% and 62.8%, respectively). Sixty-seven patients had ureterohydronephrosis (UHN), with bilateral UHN in 88.6% of cases. Pelvic cancers (47.1%) were the primary cause of HUR, primarily bladder cancers (27.1%). Nephrostomy was the most common urinary drainage method (50%), particularly for obstructions due to pelvic cancer (88.6%). The majority of patients (52.8%) regained normal renal function after drainage. Nineteen deaths occurred among elderly patients with compromised general health. Conclusion: Urinary drainage significantly improved renal function for most patients. Pelvic cancer emerged as the leading cause of HUR. Nephrostomy was the predominant drainage method.展开更多

There are several therapeutic modalities, namely surgery (open and laparoscopic) and conventional radiology. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of a varicocele cure under local anaesthesia on spermogram quality. Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023 in the urology department of the Hôpital Militaire de Ouakam (HMO). The parameters studied were age, reasons for consultation, time to urology consultation, grade of varicocele, Doppler ultrasound and spermogram data before treatment and 3 months after treatment. Treatment consisted of bilateral subinguinal varicocelectomy under local anaesthetic. Data were entered and analysed using Excel software version 2021. Results: We studied 41 patients. The mean age of the patients was 35.3 ± 6.9 years, with extremes of 22 and 50 years. Thirty-eight of our patients (88.37%) were married. The most frequent reason for consultation was primary infertility (72.09%). 28 patients (68.3%) had a bilateral varicocele on ultrasound. Varicocele was associated with bilateral testicular hypotrophy in 13 patients (31.7%) and unilateral left testicular hypotrophy in 11 patients (26.8%). All patients underwent subinguinal varicocelectomy under local anaesthetic. Mean follow-up was 4.5 months. A clear statistically significant improvement was noted in sperm motility and concentration in postoperative spermograms, with normalisation of the spermogram in 15 (36.5%) of patients. Conclusion: The impact of varicocele on sperm parameters has been clearly established. There are various therapeutic methods for curing varicocele, including varicocelectomy under local anaesthetic, which, in addition to its undeniable economic advantages, can significantly improve sperm parameters in patients with varicocele and prevent their deterioration over time.展开更多

They are predominantly caused by congenital malformations of the urinary tract and occasionally complicated by obstructive urinary stones. This study aims to elucidate the epidemiological and diagnostic facets of obstructive uropathies. Patients and Method: This retrospective, descriptive study was conducted over six years, from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2023, at the pediatric surgery department of Albert Royer Children’s Hospital in Dakar, Senegal. The study focused on the frequency of obstructive uropathies, the sex ratio, discovery contexts, types and locations of uropathies, and associated malformations. Results: Among the 29,935 children received in the department during the study period, 130 cases of obstructive uropathies were documented, equating to a hospital incidence of 0.43%. The mean age of patients was 42.53 months, ranging from one day to 15 years. Infants constituted the largest affected group, at 47.69%. The cohort included 106 males and 24 females, rendering a sex ratio of 4.41. The antenatal diagnosis was confirmed in 27 patients (20%). Uretero-hydronephrosis emerged as the predominant clinical indication. Postnatally, urinary disorders prompted consultation in 36% of cases. Ultrasound examinations were performed universally. Additionally, VUCG was conducted in 49% of patients to identify lower urinary tract obstructions, while 39% underwent urological CT scan for upper tract obstruction etiology. Renal distress with electrolyte imbalance was evident in 8% of cases. Concurrent urogenital pathologies were present in 18% of cases. Notably, posterior urethral valves accounted for 39%, pyeloureteric junction obstruction for 31%, obstructive caliceal and pelvic lithiasis at 8%, and obstructive ureteral lithiasis at 6%. Other obstruction causes included obstructive megaureter on simple systems (3%), ectopic ureter in duplex systems (2%), urethral stenosis (2%), obstructive urethral lithiasis (2%), obstructive bladder lithiasis (2%), obstructive megaureter in duplex systems (1%), ureterocele in duplex systems (1%), ureteral stenosis (1%), and ureterocele with obstructive bladder lithiasis (1%). Conclusion: Predominantly malformative in origin, obstructive uropathies necessitate ultrasound of the urinary tract as a primary diagnostic tool. Their etiologies are posterior urethral valves, pyeloureteric junction obstruction, and obstructive urolithiasis.展开更多

It has interest patients followed for metastasized prostate cancer under ADT. The parameters studied were: epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, prostate specific antigen (PSA) nadir, time to nadir (TTN) and their link with the castration resistance. <strong>Results:</strong> The frequency of castration resistant prostate cancer was 28 patients per year. The mean age was 70.4 ± 7.9 years. An ECOG score ≥ 3 was more common as was the cT2c stage. The median of the initial total PSA was 489.6 ng/ml (203.3;1653.2). All patients had adenocarcinoma. The International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) 1 was more frequent. Bone metastases were more frequent. The medians of nadir, TTN and the castration resistance were 19.3 ng/ml (3.7;102.1), 5.5 months (3;9) and 11 months (6;15.3), respectively. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, clinical stage, metastatic site, the nadir and its TTN influenced the DSR. Age, lymph node involvement, initial total PSA and Gleason score did not influence the castration resistance. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> ADT should be initiated as soon as possible before an attack of general and/or clinical stage advanced to delay resistance. A drilling should be associated with this hormone therapy as much as possible because of its gain on resistance.展开更多

Positive surgical margins are a common pathological finding in this subgroup of patients. To report the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of PSM after radical prostatectomy (RP) and to evaluate the follow-up of patients. <strong>Patients and methods:</strong> A single-center retrospective descriptive study of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy between June 1, 2004 and December 31, 2019 was conducted. Patients who had radical prostatectomy with PSM on pathology report were included. The parameters studied were age, initial prostate specific antigen (PSA), Gleason and International Society of Uropathology (ISUP) scores, cTNM and pTNM stages, operative technique, PSA levels after surgery, adjuvant treatment and patient survival. <strong>Results:</strong> Eighty-six (86) radical prostatectomies were performed. PSM was found in 23 patients (26.7%). The mean age of the patients was 63.7 ± 6.1 years. The mean preoperative total PSA was 31.5 ng/mL (6.31 - 146 ng/mL). Prostate biopsy showed only prostatic adenocarcinoma. Thoracic-abdominopelvic CT was performed in all patients. Prostate cancers were found at the localized stage in 12 patients and locally advanced in 11 patients. A classification adjustment was obtained after pathological examination of the surgical specimen. The ISUP score 3 and 1 on the surgical specimen were in the majority with 9 and 7 patients respectively. After the recurrence, all patients who consented received hormone therapy, which was either medical with Goserelin and Triptorelin (7 patients) or surgical with testicular pulpectomy (1 patient). PSA was undetectable (<0.1 mg/mL) in 4 patients. The mean overall survival (OS) time was 28.1 months. Biological recurrence-free survival in the series was 25.7 months. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> RP with PSM is a fairly common condition that varies from less than 10% to more than 40% depending on the stage of the disease and the operators, and for which the main mean of treatment in our practice setting is hormone therapy.展开更多

It is associated to variable degrees with an ectopic urethral meatus, a penis curvature and a sapper’s apron foreskin <a href="#ref1">[1]</a>. The incidence of this malformation varies from country to country. It is estimated at 1/300 male births in France and 0.26/ 1000 in Mexico <a href="#ref1">[1]</a>. In Senegal, the prevalence of this malformation is unknown. Hypospadias surgery has improved significantly in recent years due to a better understanding of the anatomy on the one hand and the improvement of the instruments used during surgery on the other (suture material, surgical magnification, urethral catheter of suitable size). In sub-Saharan Africa and particularly in Senegal, hypospadias surgery remains a challenge due to the unavailability of adequate equipment (lack of microsurgical instruments and surgical loupes). <strong>Objective:</strong> To evaluate the outcomes of the treatment of hypospadias by the different surgical techniques used in our center as well as their sexual function in adulthood. <strong>Patients and Methods:</strong> This is a retrospective study, including all patients operated for hypospadias between January 2009 and December 2017 in Urology-Andrology department of Aristide Le Dantec hospital. The studied parameters were: frequency, age, clinical and therapeutic aspects, and their sexual function in adulthood after treatment. The outcomes of the treatment were judged good or poor depending of the quality of penile straightening, the aesthetic appearance of the penis, the position of the urethral neo-meatus, the permeability of the urethra and the existence or not of fistula. The sexual function was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function 15 (IIEF) score. <strong>Results:</strong> Fifty-five patients were included. The median age was 6 years (P25 = 2.8 and P75 = 13 years). After a mean follow-up of 58 ± 33 months, 81.8% (45) of patients had a good outcome. Duplay-Snodgrass urethroplasty was the most commonly used urethroplasty technique with better results. Complications were noted in 29 patients. The most common were urethral fistula, surgical site infection and urethral neo-meatus stenosis. The sexual function was rated good in one patient and average in the other two (after an average decline of 53 ± 26 months). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Urethroplasty according to Duplay Snodgrass was the most used technique in our studies and its outcomes were better compared to the other techniques used.展开更多

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. <strong>Aims:</strong> We report the indications, results and pain assessment of rigid urethrocystoscopy in our center. <strong>Patients and Methods:</strong> 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. <strong>Results:</strong> 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. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Rigid urethrocystoscopy was relatively well tolerated by our patients. Hematuria was the primary indication and the main etiologies were bladder and prostate tumors.展开更多

Our objective was to report the clinical aspects, investigations and therapeutic aspects of three cases of congenital urethrocele. Observations: They were three male patients aged 11, 20 and 42 years, two of whom had consulted for terminal dribbling. The diagnosis of urethrocele was made for all patients with retrograde and voiding cystouretrography. Treatment consisted of resection of the urethrocele followed by urethroplasty for both cases. Conclusion: Diagnostic of congenital urethrocele must always be assessed when there is a persistent terminal dribbling, and systematically ask for a retrograde and voiding cystourethrography to confirm it.展开更多
