Abstract
Introduction: Andrological emergencies include the various pathologies affecting the male genital tract that can endanger the patient’s vital prognosis or the functional prognosis of the tract. The aim of this study was to improve the management of andrological emergencies at Abeche University Hospital. Patients and Method: This was a prospective, descriptive study conducted over a 12-month period from July 2023 to June 2024 at Abeche University Hospital. Consenting male patients of all ages presenting with an andrological emergency were included. The variables studied were epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic. Results : During the study period, 5399 patients were received in the emergency ward, 94 of whom had presented with an andrological emergency, or 1.74% of cases. The average age was 28.5 ± 15.7 years. Patients had consulted for painful swelling of the scrotum in 41.5% of cases. Acute epididymo-orchitis dominates our series with 29.80%. 33% of our patients were put on probabilistic antibiotics. The most commonly performed surgical procedure was debridement in 18.1% of cases. Conclusion: The management of andrological emergencies is medical-surgical. These data highlight the importance of andrological emergencies at Abeche University Hospital and the need to implement structures and personnel specifically trained for their optimal management.
