Men Urethra Strictures: Findings in Urethroplasties Care at the Andrology and Urology Department of Grand Yoff General Hospital in Dakar
Objectives: To report the experiment conducted at the HOGGY Urology department in the management of urethral stricture by urethroplasty, and to determine the factors that influence the results. Material and Method: We conducted a descriptive and analytical retrospective study based on the records of patients who underwent urethroplasty in the department, between February 2001 and September 2013. Results: Ninety-one (91) patients were enrolled. Urethroplasties prevalence was 0.83% of the surgical activity of the service. The mean age of patients was 39.83 years. Dysuria (30.77%) followed by pelvic trauma (28.57%) and urinary retentions (25.27%) was the main discovery mode. A periurethral coating was found in 32 patients. The infectious etiology accounted for 44% of cases. In 63% of cases, diagnostic was made by retrograde cystography. The penile urethra was the favorite seat of the UR in 70% of cases. The average length of the urethral stricture (US) was less than 1 cm in 41.17% of cases. The US was unique in more than half of the cases (58.33%). Anastomotic urethroplasty was the best surgical technique with 73.63% of patients. Postoperative morbidity involved 47 patients and was dominated by urinary infections (36 year old). The average duration of follow-up of operated patients was 29 months. After 6 months of follow-up, the best results were obtained with the termino-terminal urethroplasty technique with 62.5%. After a follow-up of 4 years, the success rate was 58.24%. The length of the stenosis and the allocation of gestures on the urethra were the two factors of failure. Conclusion: Stenosis is common in our regions. Treatment results are disappointing. Urethroplasty is the gold standard of surgical treatment and anastomotic urethroplasty gives better results.
