Method: This was a prospective, descriptive, single-centre study from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 of 84 patients operated on for inguinal hernias in the general surgery unit of CSRéf CII. Results: Inguinal hernia accounted for 8% of surgical consultations and hernia repair accounted for 30.22% of surgical procedures. Hernia repair accounted for 30.22% of surgical procedures. The male sex was the most represented with a ratio of 7.40. The average age of our patients was 43.19 years. Recurrence occurred in 10% of cases. The right side was most affected in 71.43% of cases, 19.05% on the left side in;it was bilateral in 09.52%. Local anaesthesia was used in 67.86% of our patients, general anaesthesia in 13.09% of cases and locoregional anaesthesia in 19.05% of cases. The hernia was external oblique in 75% of cases. Shouldice’s technique was the most used with 88%;Bassini’s technique was used in 7% and Mac Vay’s in 5% of cases. The postoperative course was simple in 96.43% of cases, with an early postoperative morbidity rate of 3.57%, one case of wall abscess and two cases of parietal haematoma. No deaths were observed during our study. Conclusion: The new methods of tension-free cure should be used more and more by our users in our facilities.展开更多

During this period, we operated on 73 patients for acute appendicitis, including 51 men and 22 women, for a sex ratio of 1.7. The average age was 25.5 with extremes of 1 and 40 years. Abdominal pain was the main reason for consultation. The physical signs were dominated by the positivity of the Blumberg sign in 97.3% of the cases, the defense of the right iliac fossa in 79.5%, and the Rovsing sign in 61.6% of the cases. This physical examination made it possible to make the diagnosis in the majority of cases. In the face of some doubtful cases, we requested an abdominal ultrasound. Locoregional anesthesia was the most used anesthesia technique at 72.6%. The classic anterograde appendectomy with stump burial by Mac Burney was the most commonly used technique, respectively. The postoperative consequences were straightforward in 87.6%. Anatomopathology examination was performed on 69 surgical specimens and 4 appendectomy specimens were not subjected to an anatomo-pathological examination. Phlegmonous appendicitis was the most common at 63% of cases. Appendicitis remains the most common surgical emergency in a community setting. The early diagnosis and the speed of treatment guarantee improvements in the prognosis. The treatment is mainly surgical.展开更多

We counted 120 patients operated on for digestive surgical emergencies, which corresponds to 5.80% of all consultations and 44.80% of all surgical interventions. The male sex was the most represented with a ratio of 1.80. The average age was 27.5 years. The majority of patients were from Bamako. Abdominal pain was the reason for consultation in 80% of cases. The diagnosis was essentially clinical and paraclinical in doubtful cases. These included ultrasound, unprepared abdomen and sometimes abdominal CT scans. Acute appendicitis was the most common pathology with 42.5%. General anaesthesia and spinal anaesthesia were used with 50% each. The majority of patients were operated on between 30 minutes and 12 hours after their admission to the department (71.7%). Acute peritonitis accounted for 67% of deaths from sepsis. The surgical technique was decided according to the pathology and the surgeon’s choice. The postoperative course was simple in the majority of cases. The prognosis is good when the management is early. The treatment is medical-surgical.展开更多
