We report the case of a 30-year-old patient, admitted to the emergency room for trauma of the external genitalia by traction following a blow and intentional injury. The authors highlight the lesions that can occur during this type of trauma and insist on the systematic search for urethral and cavernous lesions. Conclusion: Trauma to the external genitalia by intentional assault and battery is rare in our context. They occur most often in a young person and are frequently associated with damage to the corpora cavernosa and urethra.展开更多

Methodology: This was a retrospective, descriptive study lasting two years (January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022), carried out in the general surgery and gyneco-obstetrics departments of the Ignace Deen national hospital, Conakry University Hospital. We included all patients with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy who received surgical treatment during the study period. Results: We collected 13,524 cases of surgical interventions in the two services, among them, we recorded 89 cases or 0.66% GEUR. The average age of the patients was 24.26 years. Brides were the most represented with 80.96% of cases. Women practicing a liberal profession were 51.69% (n = 46) and housewives 26.97% (n = 24). Clinically, amenorrhea was noted in all patients, i.e. 100%, abdominal-pelvic pain in 95.2% (n = 85) of cases, metrorrhagia in 94.08% (n = 84), abdominal-pelvic sensitivity in 97.44% (n = 87) of cases and anemia in 85.39% of cases. The GEUR was ampullary in 69.66% (n = 62) cases. Salpingectomy was performed in 90.72% (n = 81). The surgical outcomes were satisfactory in 98.87% (n = 88) of cases. We recorded one case of surgical site infection. We have not recorded any deaths. The average length of hospitalization was 4 days. Conclusion: GEUR is relatively high in our context. A good understanding of the prognostic factors of GEUR, awareness and family planning could reduce GEUR.展开更多

Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study, conducted over a period of five (05) years from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022, in the general surgery department of Ignace Deen Hospital, CHU Conakry. We included in our study all patient records in whom vulvectomy was performed. Results: We recorded 15 cases of vulvectomy out of 453 perineal surgeries, i.e. 3.31%, with a mean age of 43.56 years and extremes of 35 and 69 years. Vulvar cancer was the most common diagnosis (46.67%), followed by Buschke-Lowenstein (33.33%) and anal canal cancer extending to the vulva (20%). Six patients had undergone biopsy (40%). Vulvectomy with lymph node dissection was performed in only 9 patients (60%), and all surgical specimens were sent to anatomical pathology (100%). Conclusion: Vulvectomy is a surgical technique most often indicated for the treatment of vulvar cancer.展开更多

Methodology: This was a descriptive and analytical prospective study from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 including patients admitted to our department for appendicular abscess diagnosed pre- and or intraoperatively and confirmed to histology. Results: We collected 30 appendicular abscesses that accounted for 18.75% of emergency interventions. The 16 - 25 age group was the most represented at 53%. The average age was 24 years with extremes of 10 and 58 years. The male sex was mostly represented (60%) with a sex ratio of 1.5. The majority of our patients were students (53.3%). The main clinical signs found were abdominal pain and vomiting (100%). The pain was localized in the Right Iliac Fossa (RIF) in 80% of cases. Fever was present in all our patients with a temperature between 38˚C and 38.5˚C. The physical examination found pain with defense of the right iliac fossa in 93.3% of cases. A painful mass was present in 27 patients (90%). Treatment consisted of appendectomy with abscess drainage in all patients. Postoperative follow-up was simple in 83.3% of cases;we recorded three cases (10%) of parietal suppuration, one case of fistula (3.3%) and one death. Conclusion: Appendicular abscess is a medical-surgical emergency frequent surgery in our context because of the delay in diagnosis. It is a condition with low morbidity and mortality subject to early diagnosis and prompt and appropriate treatment.展开更多

Methodology: This was a prospective study from January 1 to December 31, 2020 including patients operated for acute appendicitis and confirmed at histology and cases of abscess and appendicular plastron. Results: We collected 60 cases of acute appendicitis. They accounted for 17.29% of surgical indications. The average age of our patients was 25.5 years. The male sex was the most represented at 63% with a sex ratio of 1.72. The Pain in the right iliac fossa was the most represented reason for consultation with 76.7%. It was at the type of bite 70% of the cases. On physical examination the defense of the right iliac fossa was present in 96.7%. Digestive signs were marked by nausea 28.4% (17 patients) and vomiting 25% (15 patients). The digital rectal exam was painful to the right of the Douglas fir in 76.7% of our patients. In biology a complete blood count (CBC) performed in all our patients has objectified hyper leukocytosis in 80% of cases. The reactive protein (CRP) performed in 36 patients was elevated with values between 18 and 46 mg/ml. The imaging performed was an abdominal ultrasound that found a roundel image of the appendix with increased size in 65%. Surgical treatment consisted of classical Mac Burney appendectomy in 54 patients (90%). The gesture performed was an appendectomy in all our patients. All our appendectomy parts were sent for pathological examination. This examination classified the parts as non-specific appendicitis in 60%, phlegmonous appendicitis in 22% and catarrhal appendicitis in 18% of cases. Surgical follow-up was simple in 98.4% (59 patients) and morbidity was marked by digestive fistula in one patient. We recorded one case of death (1.6%). Conclusion: Acute appendicitis remains the most common surgical emergency in commune III of the district of Bamako. It is a pathology that can be found at all ages of life. Its morbidity and mortality are low subject to early diagnosis and management.展开更多

These patients had a mean age of 30 ± 9.5 years. The ASA I class was the most represented with 76% of the cases and the cesarean was the most performed intervention. Regarding the assessment of the pain score by the simple verbal scale (SVE) postoperatively at rest, the mean SLE scores at H6 were 0.17 ± 0.38;at H12 of 1.15 ± 0.62;at H24 of 0.84 ± 0.51;at H36 0.45 ± 0.52 and at H48 0.09 ± 0.29. On mobilization, the mean pain scores were 0.77 ± 0.51 at H6, at H12 1.89 ± 0.61;at H24 of 1.53 ± 0.56;at H36 of 1 ± 0.29 and at H48 of 0.82 ± 0.44. The majority of our patients (66.3%) had a mobilization time of less than 24 hours. The mean length of stay was 3.1 ± 1.3 days and most patients (82%) were satisfied with the management of their pain by ultrasound-guided TAP block. <b>Conclusion:</b> Ultrasound-guided TAP is an effective technique for the management of postoperative pain in gyneco-obstetrics surgery. Its integration in a context of multimodal analgesia could improve the management of postoperative pain in gynecological obstetrics.展开更多

It concerned 32 patients: 16 patients in the “ultrasound-guided SIB” group and 16 patients in the “standard analgesia” group. <b>Results:</b> The pain scores assessed by the simple verbal scale and collected at the different time intervals (6H, 12H, 24H, 36H, 48H) showed mean scores < 1 in the ultrasound-guided SIB group while the mean scores were ≤3 in the standard analgesia group (P < 0.001). On movement, the mean pain scores were ≤1 for the ultrasound-guided SIB group versus mean scores > 3 in the standard analgesia group (P < 0.001). The time to mobilization was greater than 48 hours in all patients in the standard analgesia group while it was less than 48 hours in the majority of patients (75%) in the ultrasound-guided SIB group. Nausea and vomiting were the most observed side effects. We did not observe any respiratory distress. The length of day hospitalization of patients in the ultrasound-guided SIB group was on average 5.50 ± 0.52 compared with 13.44 ± 1.55 in the group of standard analgesia patients (P = 0.001). The vast majority of patients in the ultrasound-guided SIB group were satisfied and unhappy in the standard analgesia group. <b>Conclusion:</b> Our study demonstrated that echo-guided SIB provided better analgesia compared to standard analgesia for the management of postoperative pain after total hip replacement.展开更多
