Abstract
Urethral stricture is a disease whose cause and management vary according to the context. This study aims to analyze the epidemiological etiological and therapeutic features of urethral stricture in our department. We conducted a longitudinal cross-sectional study of patients with acquired urethral stricture admitted to our department between March 2014 and February 2016. The average age of our patients was 24.5 years (10 and 81years). The diagnosis was confirmed by retrograde and voiding Urethro-Cystography (UCG). The average stricture length was 2.28cm (0.5-5cm). The therapeutic approaches included: resection with termino-terminal anastomosis; retrograde dilatation etc. Outcome assessment performed 6-15 months after surgery was satisfactory with absence of recidivism, PMR ≤30cc and strong urine flow and weak in the case of recurrence of dysuria or PMR ≥100cc. Urethral stricture accounted for 7.14% of our urologic treatments. Most of our patients were farmers from the rural area. A history of recurrent urethritis was most often reported by our patients and 78,57% of them were married men, among whom 91% were polygamous). The main reason for consultation was dysuria (50% of the study population) and 50.01% of our patients had secondary urinary tract infection, most commonly caused by Escherichia coli. The main cause of urethral stricture was an infection (56.52%). The most affected area was the bulbar urethra (45.60% of cases). UCG was the most used technique (39.13%). Overall outcomes were good (85,65%) and failure rate reached 13.04%; the highest success rate was achieved with resection with anastomosis (94.44% respectively). Urethral stricture is common among young people. Infection is the main cause in our department. Prevention is essential as well as an efficient and effective management of sexually transmitted infections. © Salifou Issiaka Traore et al.Entities:
