ABSTRACT

Inflammatory pseudo-tumors of the bladder are rare benign tumors that mostly arise in the differential diagnosis of sarcomas in children. The authors report an unusual case of pedunculated inflammatory pseudo-tumor of the bladder that externalized by the urethral meatus in a 13-year-old girl. The treatment consisted of a ligation-resection of the pedicle, followed by resection of the tumor. After regular follow-up for 18 months there was no tumor recurrence.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To describe the epidemiological, anatomico-clinical and therapeutic aspects of the patent vaginoperitoneal canal (PVPC) in urological practice and to compare our results with those of pediatric teams. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective descriptive study of PVPC cases operated in a urology unit. The following parameters were studied: medical history, age, method of installation, the anatomo-clinical type, side and the results of the treatment. RESULTS: A total of 163 cases were collected over a period of 5 years. The average age was 7.5 ± 7 years with a range of 2 months and 39 years. Thirty-four patients had less than or equal to age 2 ears and 28 patients were adults. The reason for consultation was an inguinal or scrotal inguinal, painless and intermittent swelling in 72.3% of cases. Installation mode was progressive in 45 patients (27.6%). The PVPC was sitting right in 81 patients (49.7%) and was bilateral in 12 patients (7.3%). The anatomo-clinical types were dominated by the communicating hydrocele (52%). The treatment was carried out in controlled surgery in all patients and the mean duration of hospitalization was 24 hours. The postoperative course was marked by 5 cases of scrotal hematoma and 2 cases of parietal suppuration. Postoperative mortality was zero. After a mean postoperative decrease of 2 years we observed 3 cases of testicular atrophy and two recurrences. CONCLUSION: Our results in terms of morbidity and mortality although satisfactory were lower than those of pediatric teams. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5.

ABSTRACT

Scrotal calcinosis is a rare pathology and etiology still discussed. We report five cases in patients without particular history of another disease. Clinical examination revealed scrotal wall with painless nodules of various sizes producing a whitish substance, pasty. The phosphate levels were normal in all patients. They all had a resection of the lesions associated with scholarships plasty recovery. Histopathological study revealed calcified epidermoid cysts in 4 cases.

ABSTRACT

Bilharzioma are inflammatory pseudotumors, which often pose the problem of differential diagnosis with neoplastic processes. Using the keywords "testicular" and "schistosomiasis", there are only 14 cases of testicular bilharzioma identified on PubMed. The authors report two new cases in a 6-year-old child and an adult of 38 years, collected over a period of 5 years. In both cases, orchidectomy was performed and histological analysis of the surgical specimen was allowed to diagnose testicular bilharzioma by Schistosomia haematobium. The authors emphasize the need to evoke a bilharzioma before any testicular nodule in a patient living in an endemic area.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Describe the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study of all cases of VVF secondary to hysterectomy. The following parameters were studied: age, parity, indication for hysterectomy, risk factors, the consultation period, the anatomical type of VVF, the paraclinical, the surgical approach and results of the cure. RESULTS: Fourteen cases were identified over 10 years. All hysterectomies were performed by laparotomia. The average age of patients was 54.3±13 years. Hysterectomy was performed in view of a uterine leiomyoma in eight cases, a cancer of the cervix in four cases, a menometrorrhagia in one case and a choriocarcinoma in one case. Four patients had received neoadjuvant radiotherapy. The mean time from injury was 13.5±18 months. Examination under valve was allowed to find 11 VVF type 1 and three type 2 VVF. IVU was normal in seven patients and allowed to find an ureterohydronephrose stage III in one patient. VVF was addressed by high in ten cases including 5 by transperitoneovaginale and 5 by transvesical pure. The postoperative course was uneventful in 11 patients (78%) but marked by vesicocutaneous fistula, parietal suppuration and one failure. CONCLUSION: In this short series of post-hysterectomy VVF treated by laparotomia, we observed a rate of cure satisfying in spite of an important psychosocial morbidity.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the results of Anderson-Hynes open pyeloplasty in our institution. And then to compare them to those of laparoscopic procedure and identify what can be considered now as the indications of the open procedure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: It was a retrospective study on 30 cases of ureteropelvic junction syndrome managed by Anderson-Hynes open procedure. The clinical, biological and radiologic characteristics of the patients as well as the surgical technique and its results were taken into account. The patients were classified, according to Valdeyer and Cendron classification as type II in eight cases (26.7%), type III in ten cases (33.3%) and type IV in four cases (13.3%). There were also eight cases of giant hydronephrosis (26.7%). The operating time, the length of hospital stay and the outcomes were studied and compared with those of the laparoscopic pyeloplasty found in the medical literature. RESULTS: The mean operating time was 115 ± 33.4 minutes (90-230 min). The mean length of hospital stay was 10.4 ± 5.1 days. Six patients (20%) had postoperative complications. After a mean follow-up of 28 ± 13.7 months (13-48 months), our first-hand success rate was 90% (n=27). CONCLUSION: Anderson-Hynes open pyeloplasty reached good results but nowadays its indications can be limited to laparoscopic contraindications, severe hydronephrosis (grade IV or giant hydronephrosis) and second-hand cases. The two latter indications depend on the surgeon experience in laparoscopic surgery.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study current epidemiological and clinical features of adult renal cancer in Senegal and the evolution of these features over the two past decades. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective ten years study (2000-2009) that analyzed all the renal cell cancer in adult admitted in the urology department and the pathology department of the university teaching hospital Aristide-Le-Dantec (Dakar). The results of this study were compared with those of the previous decade. RESULTS: We included 74 cases of renal cell cancer. The median age of patients was 49 years (18-72 years). There was a slight female predominance (51.3%). Twenty-eight (37.8%) patients presented at least with one renal cell cancer risk factor. The median duration of symptoms was 10 months (1-96 months). The localization of the renal cancer was right in 42 patients (56.7%) and left in 32 cases (43.8%). Almost all the tumors were symptomatic. Symptoms were dominated by loin pain (87.8%) and abdominal mass (77%). There were only two cases (2.7%) of incidental renal cell cancer. The median tumor size was 12 cm (2.4-26 cm). The more frequent tumor stages according to the TNM 2002 staging system were T2 (39.2%) and T3 (33.7%). Metastases were found in 23 (31%) patients. Forty-four patients underwent nephrectomy (43 radical and one partial). No adjuvant treatment or metastasectomy were done. The main histological subtype of tumors was renal cell carcinoma (47 cases). The mean duration of the follow up was 30.5 ± 33.6 months. Among the 44 patients who underwent nephrectomy, no tumor recurrence was found on 35 cases. Tumor recurrence occurred on nine patients. The specific mortality rate was 47.3%. Epidemiological and clinical features of the adult renal cell cancer in Senegal haven't significantly changed over the 20 past years. CONCLUSION: The adult renal cell cancer incidence was low in Senegal. Its clinical profile was characterized by a predominance of locally advanced and metastatic forms.

ABSTRACT

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in children is rare. This entity has different clinical and biological presentation characteristics from adult RCC. In contrast to Wilms tumor, the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in pediatric RCC remains uncertain. Debate continues on the importance of lymph node dissection. The authors present a case of RCC with lymph node involvement in a 12-year-old boy. The treatment was radical nephrectomy and a limited lymphadenectomy. No adjuvant therapy was given. After 13 months of follow-up, there is no evidence of recurrence. This case shows that lymph node involvement (in the absence of distant metastases) is not associated with a poor prognosis in pediatric RCC and that lymphadenectomy in lymph node-positive cases is important.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To report epidemiological, clinical and paraclinical features of pyonephrosis and describe current management methods in Senegal. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study includes a series of patients admitted for pyonephrosis to the Urology Department of the Aristide Le Dantec Hospital in Dakar between 1995 and 2009. The following information was collected for each patient: age, sex, clinical manifestations, diagnostic findings, treatment modalities and outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 44 patients with a mean age of 34 years were included. The most common clinical manifestations were acute flank pain, sepsis and renal mass. Diagnostic was usually based on medical imaging, i.e., renal utrasonography and computed tomography. Urolithiasis was the underlying etiology in 73.2% of cases. Nephrectomy was performed in 83% of cases with or without preliminary nephrostomy catheterization. CONCLUSION: Development of both diagnostic (medical imaging) and therapeutic methods for management of pyonephrosis has been consistent with the rarity of this condtion in Senegal.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To report the oncologic results and morbidity of bilateral pulpectomy and to identify factors that make this method of androgen suppression therapy the most used in our country. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective study in the urology department of Aristide Le-Dantec hospital (Dakar) between January 2008 and June 2010 (30 months). It included 84 cases of prostate cancer treated by bilateral pulpectomy under local anesthesia. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 72.17±12.48 years (53-91). The median PSA level was 101 ng/mL (12.18-9990). Metastasis have been detected in 75% of cases. The Gleason score was higher than 7 in 40 patients (47.6%). Three months after pulpectomy, an improvement of performance status was seen in 76 patients (90.4%). The back pain significantly decreased in intensity or disappeared in 65.3% (32/49) of cases. A complete recovery of lower limbs motor deficit was observed in 50% of cases (7/14). The PSA levels decreased in 57 of the 76 patients alive and the mean PSA level was then 72±11.7 ng/mL (3.8-2433). At six months, of the 53 patients in urinary retention, 18 had recovered spontaneous and complete urination. The PSA level was below 4 ng/mL in 33.8% (22/65) of cases and between 4 and 10 ng/mL in 52.3% (34/65) of cases. At 12 months, the median PSA nadir was 0.76 ng/mL (0,002-8,17) and 57.4% of the 54 patients alive had a PSA nadir less than 2 ng/mL. The mean follow-up was 11.08±10.34 months (1-30). A rising PSA occurred in 17 patients (20.2%) after an mean progression-free survival of 10.5 months (6-25). The overall survival at 6, 12 and 24 months were respectively 77.3, 64.3 and 52.3%. The overall cost of pulpectomy was 50 000 FCFA (76€). The specific morbidity of pulpectomy was two cases (2.4%) of infection of the operative site. CONCLUSION: The bilateral pulpectomy was a method of androgen suppression immediately effective, efficacious with a low morbidity. Its very low cost is the main reason why it is still the most used method in our country.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: To describe clinical and therapeutic features of ischemic priapism associated with sickle cell disease (SSD) in Senegalese men and to identify risk factors for erectile dysfunction (ED). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The charts of all patients admitted to the Urology Department of Aristide Le Dantec University Teaching Hospital (Dakar) for ischemic priapism associated with SSD between January 2000 and September 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 22 patients with a mean age of 19.5 +/- 9.9 years (6 - 41 years) were identified. The most affected age group was between 21 and 30 years. The mean duration between onset of the episode and admission was 89.6 +/- 103.1 hours (4 - 384 hours). Nine patients (40.9%) were admitted within 24 hours after the onset. Eight patients (36.3%) had a history of stuttering priapism. The sickle cell phenotype identified by electrophoresis was SS in 18 patients and AS in four. The main treatment modalities were corporeal aspiration that was performed with or without intracavernosal injection of sympathomimetics drugs and Al Ghorab shunt surgery that was used in ten patients with a success rate of 90 % (complete detumescence). With a mean follow-up of 3.8 +/- 1.5 years, nine (69.2%) of the 13 patients older than 16 years developed ED. The incidence of ED was significantly correlated with the duration of the priapism but not with SSD phenotype. CONCLUSION: In Senegal ischemic priapism associated with sickle cell disease occurs mainly in young people. The incidence of ischemic priapism appears to be low but ED is common due to the prolonged duration of priapism.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To report the cases of urolithiasis in children and to assess epidemiological, clinical and therapeutically aspects. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We study retrospectively the cases of urolithiasis in children of 0 to 15 years old between 2003 and 2008. The parameters of study were: age, sex, clinical and therapeutically aspects. RESULTS: We report 20 cases. The mean age was 5.4 years. The sex-ratio was 9/1. Dysuria was the most common symptom. Abdominal plain radiography associate with ultrasonography permitted the diagnostic in most cases. Stone location was in the bladder mainly (n = 12). Posterior Urethra valves were the common etiology found. The surgical treatment was performed in all cases and consisted of cystolithotomy in the majority. CONCLUSION: Children urinary stones are less common than in adults. The etiologies are different but the treatment is coming to be alike.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of selective clamping of segmental renal arteries during partial nephrectomy, in order to limit renal infarction to the pathological area to be resected. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A dissection of renal artery and its extraparenchymal branches was realised. The study included 30 kidneys from recent nonformolised corpses. The size, distribution, and accessibility of the arteries were considered. All the corpses underwent a lombotomy with or without rib resection. RESULTS: The majority of dissected kidneys had a unique artery (96.66% of cases). The number of segmental arteries was zero in five cases (16.66%), one in four cases (13.33%), two in four cases (13.33%), three in one case (3%), four in 15 cases (50%) and five in five cases (16.66%). The posterior and inferior segmental arteries were more accessible to isolate with a respective ratio of 94 and 100% at segmental level. Apical and middle segmental arteries were least accessible with a respective ratio of 73 and 80%. The majority of accidents during dissection occurred with the middle segmental artery (62.5% of vascular lesions). CONCLUSION: This anatomic dissection on corpses showed that selective renal segmental arteries is possible in the majority of cases. This dissection is better indicated in partial nephrectomies for renal tumours located posteriorly or in the lower pole.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To present the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features of the urological emergencies in Senegal, West Africa. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The authors conducted a 20 months retrospective study that analyzed the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features of all urological emergencies admitted to the urology department of the university teaching hospital Aristide-Le-Dantec (Dakar). RESULTS: There were 1237 urological emergencies. The mean age of the patients was 58.8 years (range one month-94 years). The sex ratio (M/F) was 20.32. These patients had an age equal to or higher than 60 years in 50.7% of the cases. The most frequent illness was urinary retention (53%) and genitor-urinary system infectious, which represented as a whole 16.4% of the cases. The gangrenes of male external genitalia (Fournier's gangrene) accounted for 4.1% of the cases and the priapism 1.3%. In emergency, 331 surgical operations were performed. The most performed procedures were the installation of a suprapubic catheter (59.8%) and debridement of a gangrene of male external genitalia (15.4%). CONCLUSION: The most frequent urological emergency in our country was the acute urinary retention. Some serious illness like gangrene of male external genitalia (Fournier's gangrene) and priapism are not rare there.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To present the epidemiological, clinical and histological profile of the bladder cancer in Senegal. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The authors conducted a retrospective study based on registries and clinical data of patients admitted for bladder cancer confirmed by the histology at the university hospital Aristide-Le-Dantec of Dakar. RESULTS: Four hundred and twenty-eight bladder cancers were recorded. The incidence of the bladder cancer was 2.5% of the whole of cancers. The mean age of the patients was 45.5 years (range 12-86 years). The sex-ratio was 1.25. The majority of the patients consulted for low urinary tract symptoms (94.5%) and hematuria (88%). The prevalent histological type was squamous cell carcinoma (50.70%). CONCLUSION: The bladder cancer in Senegal is a cancer of the young adult. The prevalent histological type is squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: Prune Belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare complex malformation with male predominance. His pathogeny is not yet completely elucidated. The goal of this work is to analyze the epidemiological, anatomoclinical and treatment aspects of a retrospective trial in Aristide-Le-Dantec Hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We carried out a retrospective study about 22 cases collected in the departments of urology-andrology and pediatric surgery in Aristide-Le-Dantec Hospital between April 1995 and November 2004. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 15 months with extremes of one day and 10 years. The somatic examination revealed 20 cases of complete abdominal muscle aplasia, one right partial form and the last case had a left partial form. Nineteen patients were managed with conservative treatment and three patients benefited a surgical act for urinary abnormalities. The Montfort intervention was performed in two patients respectively aged eight and 10 years. The orchidopexy, stage 1, by Fowler-Stephens technique was performed in 13 cases. Five cases of death and nine cases of testicular atrophy after orchidopexy occurred. The followings were satisfactory in the three operated patients for urinary abnormalities. CONCLUSION: The renal failure is the main cause of death. The management of the urinary tract abnormalities must be performed individually. The testis descending should be performed in newborn period to enhance the fertility chances. The abdominoplasty also should be done early for aesthetic reason and to improve pulmonary, defecation, and voiding functions.

ABSTRACT

Vulvar localisation of schistosomiasis is a rare presentation. We report a case of a woman of 20 years old hospitalised for a vulvar mass of six months. That mass progressively increased in volume and was tender. It was accompanied by frequency and dysuria. The patient had a history of swimming in fresh water and hematuria when she was eight years old. Initial clinical examination found a good general state, there was a mass involving the clitoris and the small lips. This painless mass had a cauliflower appearance and was soft with a large implantation. Pathology exam of the mass revealed a vulvar schistosomiasis with an important amount of living eggs. A tumour removal with a plasty of small lips was performed. Additionally, praziquantel was administered orally. Vulvar localisation of schistosomiasis might suggest a malignant tumour. Only pathological examination can assess the diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to report the transrectal prostate biopsy complications, to identify the factors involved in their occurring and to insist on their prevention. PATIENTS AND METHODOLOGY: It is a prospective study interested on patients managed in the urological and andrological service in Aristide le Dantec Hospital in Dakar for prostate tumour from February 2002 to March 2004 and in whom the indication of prostate biopsy was performed. All the patients fulfilling the including criteria were taken in care according to a same protocol that was a transrectal sextant biopsy This act was performed under preventive antibiotherapy based on fluoroquinolones started one day before and going on three days after biopsy associated to a rectal preparation performed the same day of biopsy At the end of the biopsy the patient was managed externally during three days after biopsy Following parameters were studied: age of patients, the histopathological results and the post operative complications. RESULTS: Two hundred and four (204) biopsies were performed. The median age of the patients was 69.1 years with the extremes of 42 years and 93 years. The global rate of complications was 13.5% with a majority of bleeding. There no major complication registered. Rectal and urethral bleeding was over in 24 hours. The complete urine retention was under the form of a unique happening complication. The distribution of complications according to the results of the biopsy did not reveal any particularity. CONCLUSION: The rectal preparation associated to preventive antibiotherapy seems to reduce infectious complications.
