Our goal was to take stock of this activity in the ENT department of the Donka National Hospital. Equipment and Methods: It was a descriptive and retrospective study;it involved 71 patients’ records operated from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2023. We included the files of patients who had a middle ear surgery including the post-operative report and follow-up. Incomplete or illegible records were excluded. The parameters studied were epidemiological, otoscopic, tomodensitometric, surgical indications, surgical techniques and results. Results: We recorded 71 middle ear surgeries out of 548 ENT surgeries, the prevalence was 12.96%. The average age was 23 years (type-deviation = 17, 29 years) with extremes of 3 to 75 years. According to the preoperative audiometry, the deafness was medium (48.8%), mild (36.9%) and severe (14.3%). The operative indications were among others: perforation of the tympanic sequellar (52.5%), chronic otomastoiditis (23.8%), cholesteatoma (15%) and seromuqueous otitis (8.7%). We performed 70 tympanoplasties (90.9%), 50 mastoidectomies (64.9%) and 7 trans-tympanic aerators (9.1%). One month after surgery, the neotympanum was constituted in 86%, and the hearing gain was between 11 and 15 dB in 18.3% of cases. Conclusion: Middle ear surgery was infrequent. Young subjects are the most concerned. Tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy are the main surgical techniques. The anatomical and functional results are appreciable.展开更多

The objective of this study was to analyze the indications and results of urethrocystoscopy in the urology department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital in Conakry. Material and Methods: We carried out a prospective descriptive study over 6 months, from 1<sup>st</sup> June to 30<sup>th</sup> November 2022, which included all patients who underwent urethrocystoscopy in the Urology Department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital in Conakry. We studied the following parameters: sex, age, indications and results of the examination, and complications. Results: 77 patients were included. The average age was 56.5 ± 19.5 years with extremes of [15 to 88 years]. The sex ratio was 2.9. Hematuria (50.7%) and lower urinary tract symptoms (32.4%) were the most frequent indications. Cystocystoscopy was normal in 14.3% of patients. Bladder tumors (29.9%) and prostatic hypertrophy (18.2%) were the most found lesions. Conclusion: Rigid urethrocystoscopy occupies an important place in the exploration of hematuria and lower urinary tract symptoms in our department. Bladder tumors and prostatic hypertrophy were the main lesions observed.展开更多
