Background: Open prostatectomy is the most commonly available surgical procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia and this is the case in most countries in West African even with all the limitations of the procedure. Objective: The objective is to determine the pattern and outcomes of open prostatectomy in Lomé. Patients & Methods: From December 2011 to November 2012, we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study on a series of patients treated for prostate adenoma. Dysuria was assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). The history of each patient was recorded, as well as paraclinical data. All patients were surgically treated via abdominal incision procedure. The data obtained included the patients’ demographics, clinical features, the IPSS scores, investigations, type of open prostatectomy, outcome and follow-up. The data were analyzed for means and frequencies using Epi Info version 3.5.3. Results: Fifty-four consecutive patients underwent surgery consecutively, their ages ranging from 40 to 92 years, with an average of 67.27 ± 12.50 years. In all, 46 (85.2%) patients presented with obstructive symptoms and 26 (48.1%) presented with urinary retention. The average prostate volume was 114.31 ± 20.11 cm3 with a range of 31 - 485 cm3. The average blood loss at surgery was 425.92 ± 38.2 ml with an average operating time of 66.05 ± 15.75 mins and the main complications were hemorrhaging and clot retention in 7 (13%), epididymo-orchitis in 9 (16.7%), and urinary incontinence in 6 (11.1%) patients. IPSS scores were under 7 in 92% of patients three months after surgery and the mortality rate was 3.7%. Conclusion: This study has shown that open prostatectomy in our environment is still the commonest surgical option for benign prostatic hyperplasia with good outcomes though with manageable complications.
