Epidemiological and Diagnostic Aspects of Bladder Bilharziomas in the Urology Department of Idrissa Pouye General Hospital (HOGIP).

Objective: The aim of our study is to assess the diagnostic aspects of bladder bilharzioma in the Urology Department of Idrissa Pouye General Hospital (Senegal).

Materials And Methods: It is a descriptive study from January 2013 to December 2018. The patients included in the study were those who had anatomopathological examination of bladder biopsy that showed a schistosomiasis pseudotumor of the bladder.

Surgical Management of Urolithiasis of the Upper Tract - Current Trend of Endourology in Africa.

Urolithiasis is a global pathology with increasing prevalence rate. The lifetime recurrence of urolithiasis ranges from 10-75% creating a public health crisis in affected regions. The epidemiology of urolithiasis in most parts of Africa and Asia remains poorly documented as incidence and prevalence rates in these settings are extrapolated from hospital admissions.

180° congenital penile torsion with distal hypospadias mistaken for an epispadias: Optimal outcome with tubularized incised plate urethroplasty and dartos flap rotation.

Introduction: Severe penile torsion of 180° associated with hypospadias is a rare entity. Knowledge of penile anatomy and pathology are necessary as the diagnosis could be missed.

Case Presentation: We report a case of severe 180° penile torsion with distal hypospadias that was mistaken for an epispadias which was corrected with surgery.

Is Schistosomiasis a Risk Factor for Bladder Cancer? Evidence-Based Facts.

. Globally, approximately 20% of malignancy are caused by infection. Schistosoma infection is a major cause of bladder in most part of Africa.

Review of Testicular Tumor: Diagnostic Approach and Management Outcome in Africa.

Testicular cancer is a common malignancy in young males with higher incidence in developed nations but with the lowest incidence in Africa (0.3-0.6/100 000).

Management of Advanced and Metastatic Prostate Cancer: A Need for a Sub-Saharan Guideline.

The estimated incidence rate of prostate cancer in Africa was 22.0/100,000 in 2016. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has cited prostate cancer as a growing health threat in Africa with approximated 28,006 deaths in 2010 and estimated 57,048 deaths in 2030.

Management of Renal Cell Carcinoma-Current Practice in Sub-Saharan Africa.

There is a global variation in the incidence of renal masses with the developed nations having a greater incidence. About 80-90% of renal malignancies are renal cell carcinomas (RCC) which account for 2-4% of all cancers. In Africa and the Middle East, the age-standardized incidence for RCC is 1.

A Review of Localized Prostate Cancer: An African Perspective.

Prostate cancer is the second most common malignancy in males and the sixth leading cause of cancer mortality in men with a relatively higher death rate in men of African descent. In the United States and other parts of Europe, more than 80% of diagnosed prostate cancer is localized, and 80-90% of these men receive some form of treatment. The projected data may not be a direct reflection of the disease in the sub-Saharan region as less than 40% presents with localized disease.

Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Review of the Current Trend in Africa.

Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men and the 11th most common cancer in woman accounting for 6.6% of all cancer cases. Approximately 70-75% bladder cancers are non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

A study of PSA values in an unselected sample of Senegalese men.

Objectives: Limited data exist about prostate cancer screening in Africa. The goal of this study was to describe the distribution of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values in an unselected population of Senegalese men being screened for prostate cancer, and to assess the role of PSA screening tests in the early detection of prostate cancer in this population.

Patients And Methods: We undertook a cross-sectional study in a community outreach setting with 113 unselected Senegalese men.

[Anterograde flexible ureteroscopy for stones of the uretero-sigmoid junction of a Mainz II pouch].

The incidence of stones after urinary diversion is variable but considerable. The authors report the case of a patient with a stone of the uretero-sigmoid junction of a Mainz II pouch occurring three years after radical cystectomy for recurrent carcinoma in situ refractory to conservative treatment. The patient was treated by anterograde Holmium:YAG laser flexible ureteroscopy.
