Abstract
Introduction: Endoscopic internal urethrotomy (EIU) is a technique that consists of an incision of the stenosed urethra under visual control. Its indication is widespread since the first description in 1971 by Sachse. The objective was to analyze the results of EIU in the treatment of urethral stenosis (US) at the Andro-Urology Department of the UHC of Conakry. Methodology: It is a prospective descriptive study, lasting 18 months (January 2016-30 June 2017). It involved 102 patients. The variables were: age, etiology of US, type of catheter, duration of catheter wear and recurrences. After a 12-month follow-up, our results were considered good in the absence of recurrences. Results: The average age was 54.25 years with the extremes comprising between 16 and 96 years. The main reasons for medical checkup were chronic urine retention at 58.82%. Etiology infection was the most frequent with a ratio of 81.37%, while Escherichia coli was found at 51.29%. US was bulbar (71.57%), unique (67.64%) and less than 1 cm (60.78%). Surgical complication occurred with 9 patients (8.82%) with urethrorrhagia and the external genital organs infiltration in 4 cases. Results were good for 77 patients (75.49%). Stenosis post infection, long and multiple stenoses, urethral catheterization with latex catheter and urethral catheterization of more than 4 days were strongly associated with the recurrence occurrence. Conclusion: The EIU is a minimally invasive surgical technique that offers good results.
