[Chronic prostatitis: clinical and therapeutical aspects].

AIM: To insist on clinical and therapeutical aspects of chronic prostatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The authors relate a prospective study about 30 patients who were followed for chronic prostatitis. All patients were treated and followed up to 6 months. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 31,82 years. Sixty percent of them where send by a physician after failure of medical treatment. Mean delay before consultation were 31.5 months. The main symptoms were pain (pelvic pain, perineal pain, or post ejaculatory pain). The distribution of patients according to the US NIH has shown 13 cases of category II, and 17 cases of category III. Outcome of these patients was favourable in ten cases for category II and nine cases for category III. CONCLUSION: If important efforts were realized for classification and diagnostic approach, many patients often fair to respond to treatment.

[Ureteroplasty by penile pedicular flap].

The authors relate a retrospective study on 30 cases of urethral stenosis and four cases of urethral rupture with a mean follow up of 28 months (8 to 44 months). The mean age of the patients was 47.5 years (6 to 85 years). The main aetiology was inflammatory sclerosis (73.5%). The predilection was bulbar (52.94%). The main symptom was constituted by dysuria (n = 24). The peri-urethral sclerosis was found in 44, 12% of cases. The penile flap as tube or patch. Immediate complications were a loosen of sutures (n = 7), urinary fistula (n = 4). The later complications were essentially recidives (n = 6). The results were good in 73.5% of cases.

[Ureterocele in adults. Five case reports].

The authors report five cases of ureterocele during six years. Mean age of the patients was 34.2 +/- 11.1 years. There were four female and one male. Pain (N = 3) and dysuria (N = 3) were the most common symptoms at examination. Diagnosis was made by ultrasound (N = 3), IVU (N = 3) or cystoscopy (N = 1). Ureteroceles were bilateral in four cases, unilateral in one case and were always intravesical with single ureter. Two patients presented lithiasis enclosed in the ureterocele. Only four patients had been operated. Surgical treatment was ureterocelectomy with ureteral reimplantation according to Cohen procedure. With mean follow-up of 10.6 +/- 4.7 months results were stable without complications.

[Penetrating wounds of the abdomen. Evaluation of conservative treatment in 40 cases].

Stabbed penetrating abdominal wounds are becoming more and more frequent in our emergency surgical unit due to increase of aggressions. The goal of our study is to evaluate the conservative treatment of these wounds. This concerns a study carried out between January 1997 and October 1998. Exploratory laparotomy was proposed at each time when one or more of the following criteria was noticed: choc, evisceration of intestines, digestive hemorrhagy or hematuria, outlet of digestive fluids, sign of peritoneal irritation, wounds by gunshots or wounds at the frontal regions. In the other cases, the conservative treatment with wound dressing following an antibiotic and serovaccination therapy of tetanus was the therapeutic option. Our study was carried out on 40 patients of whom were 37 males and 3 females of average age 24.9 years with extremities of 7 to 52 years. It arrived to the following results: 32 of the patients (80%) were victim of aggression and 29 cases were stabbed wounds. The wounds were in the central region (umbilicus 29.5%) and superior to the abdomen and were associated with outlet of the omentum (50%) outlet of the intestines (12.5%), peritoneal irritation (27.5%), digestive hemorrhagy (10%), hematuria (2.5%) outlet of faeces (2.5%). 17 patients (42.5%) underwent exploratory laparotomy on the basis of criteria afor mentioned and the 23 others (57.5%) underwent medical surveillance and 3 of them developed peritonitis and underwent surgery. The rate of negative laparotomy was 5% and retarded interventions was 13%. The morbidity was also 13% and mortality 2.5%. The average period of internship in hospital was 11,4 days with extremities of 1 to 101 days. The conservative treatment of penetrating stabbed abdominal wounds out of the criteria mentioned were quite satisfactory.

[Treatment of chronic anal fissures: report of 31 cases].

A prospective study evaluating the surgical technique used in the treatment of chronic anal fissures, which is fissurectomy, partial sphincterotomy and anoplasty, was carried out in University Teaching Hospital Dakar. Thirty one patients with chronic anal fissures (20 males and 11 females) with average age 38 years and mean consultation period of 3 years, were treated with this technique. The delay of healing was between 4 to 12 weeks for a mean period of six weeks with 27 cases healed before 2 months and 4 cases after. One patient developed transitory faecal incontinence, recurrences, anal stenosis, haemorrhoidal relapses. noticed after simple lateral sphincterotomy were not found in our study as written in the medical literature. The surgical treatment of chronic anal fissures by fissurectomy, partial sphincterotomy and anoplasty is an important corner stone in this pathology. However lately healing may be a source of discomfort for the patient.

[Bladder lithiasis].

OBJECTIVE: to study the particularities of the bladder lithiasis in our countries. This was a retrospective study of 94 cases (62 men and 32 women) of bladder lithiasis over a period of 13 years. The lithogenic factors; clinic, paraclinic and therapeutic aspects have been studied. Morphoconstitutional analysis has been carded out in collaboration with Cristal Laboratory (St Cloud hospital center in France). RESULTS: mean age was 24.2+/-20.7 years old. The principals mains of consultation were: dysuria (n =36), mictionnal pain (n = 28), hematuria (n = 15). Facilitating factors have been found in 27% of cases. In 10 cases, there was an association bladdder lithiasis and bladdder-vaginal fistula. Radiologic test was dominated by intraveinous urographic (53.19 of cases). The metabolic test showed hypercalcemia and cristalluria in 2 cases. In 7,45 % of cases, we have founding a renal failure. An urinary tract infection have been noticed in 42 % of cases. Open surgery has been the main treatement (96 %) associating in 15 % of cases the treatement of an uropathy. In one case the bladder lithiasis weighed 1120 g. The morphologic and spectrophotometric analysis of the lithiasis have been achieved in 13 % of cases showing the predominance of struvite. CONCLUSION: the bladder lithiasis is still common in our countries; it could be good for us to access endoorporeals and extracorporeals therapeutic equipements in orderto reduce the indications of open surgery.
