Abstract
Objective : The aim of our study was to examine the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of SJPU in the urology department at BSS University Hospital in Kai. Method: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, with retrospective data collection between April 24, 2016, and March 20, 2020 ( i.e. , 4 years); and prospective data collection between March 26 and October 1, 2022. We conducted this study over a period of 8 years and 6 months in our urology department at the Pr Bocar Sidy Sall University Hospital in Kati. Results: PUJS accounted for 3.3% of pathologies. The average age of patients was 23.3 years, with extremes of 8 and 53 years. Males accounted for 63.3% of cases, with a ratio of 1.72. The most common reason for consultation was lower back pain, accounting for 96.7% of cases. Urinalysis was positive in 66.7% of cases, and E. coli was found in 65% of urinary tract infections. The left side was the most affected in 56.7% of cases. Pyeloplasty was the most commonly performed procedure, accounting for 60% of cases. Conclusion: PUJS is the most common obstructive uropathy. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent destruction of the renal parenchyma.
