[Urinary calculi in the Surgical Departments of the National Hospital Center and the University of Cotonou].

The authors review renal stone disease in the National University Hospital of Cotonou on the basis of 109 cases observed over a period of 18 years. The mean frequency was 6.11 cases per year with a marked male predominance (sex ratio of 3.73). Infection and diseases of the lower urinary tract play an important aetiological role, hence the numerical importance of cases of lower tract stones (60.95%).

[Urethral mucosal prolapse in children at the National Hospital and University Center of Cotonou. Apropos of 13 cases].

The authors report 13 cases of prolapse of the urethral mucosa. This is a benign lesion of the terminal portion of the urethra, seen above in black girls aged from 6 to 10 years. The usual presentation is vulval bleeding. The lesion is recognised by inspection and urethral catheterisation. Resection of the prolapse with muco-mucosal suture, not followed by the insertion of an indwelling catheter, is adequate and may be performed in a day hospital.
