The former converts androgens into estrogens and stimulates adipogenesis. The latter cannot fully stimulate GnRH release as its hypothalamic receptors are reduced in obese men. Thus, obesity which is associated with an adipose tissue increment can interfere with male fertility. Objective: We aim to study the correlation between the body mass index (BMI) of an individual and the quality of semen he produces. Patients and Method: By means of the software R 4.2.1 we performed a retrospective analysis of the relationship between the BMI and the semen alterations in the patients managed at the former Military Teaching Hospital of Cotonou from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2022: a bi-varied analysis and Fischer’s exact test (significance threshold 5%, confidence interval 95%) followed by a logistic regression when a non-significant p-value is below 0.20. Results: 127 males managed for infertility (mean age = 36.2 years) were recorded, including 11.1% obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2) and 36.5% overweighted (25 kg/m2 2). The most frequent semen alterations were: oligoasthenospermia (27.8%), asthenospermia (22.2%), oligoasthenoteratospermia (14.3%), azoospermia (13.5%) and asthenoteratospermia (9.5%). Bi-varied analysis showed no correlation between the BMI and the semen alterations (p-value ranged from 0.086 to 0.9) and no difference in semen alterations between patients with BMI below and above 25 kg/m2 (p-value ranged from 0.12 to 0.9). Logistic regression demonstrated that asthenoteratospermia were correlated with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 [OR = 2.1, 95% CI (1.50 - 2.70), p = 0.021]. Conclusion: Male obesity and overweight can trigger asthenoteratospermia.","PeriodicalId":19545,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal of Urology","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135446643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All patients presented with scrotal swelling. At scrototomy, all torsions were intravaginal with two turns of spiral in 13 cases and three turns in 8 cases. Orchiectomy followed by contralateral orchidopexy was performed in 6 cases. In the other cases, bilateral orchidopexy was performed after detorsion. The average hospital stay was 4.5 days. We recorded 4 cases of testicular atrophy after orchidopexy. Conclusion: Spermatic cord torsion is an infrequent emergency in our department. The delay in consultation remains the main predictive factor of testicular necrosis. Emergency exploratory scrotomy should be the rule.","PeriodicalId":19545,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal of Urology","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136207837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the curative treatment is surgery. Trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) represents the reference surgical technique when the technical platform is correct. In Bouaké, the FREYER HRYNTCHACK trans vesical approach is the technique used in our department. It sometimes leads to complications that can be life-threatening. The general objective of this work was to describe the morbidity and mortality of trans-bladder adenomectomy and their management at the Bouaké University Hospital. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study carried out at the Bouaké Teaching Hospital over a period of 5 years from January 2016 to December 2022. It involved 150 patients operated on for BPH by the trans vesical route and who experienced postoperative complications. The parameters studied were age, postoperative complications, treatment, and mortality. Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.2 ± 7.37 years. Hemorrhage was the main immediate complication. Parietal suppuration, in 48% of cases, was the most common secondary complication, followed by vesicocutaneous fistula (18%), orchiepididymitis (15.33%) and urinary leakage (3.33). Late complications were: retrograde ejaculation in 73.33%, urethral stricture (10.66%) and sclerosis of the compartment (6.66%). Mortality was 1.33%.

If not well and promptly managed, they may lead to serious morbidity or mortality. Objectives: To study the pattern of presentation, diagnosis and outcome of management of non-traumatic urological emergencies seen at the Emergency Department of Souro Sanou University Hospital in Bobo-Dioulasso. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective and descriptive study over four years. It included patients of all ages and both sexes, admitted for non-traumatic urological emergencies in the surgical emergency department of Souro Sanou University Hospital. It took place from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020. Results: A total of 584 patients were reviewed in our study. Non-traumatic urological emergencies account for 6.3% of all surgical emergencies seen during the study period. The male-to-female ratio was 9.2 to 1. The mean age of the patients was 51.9 ± 23.9 years. Forty-five per cent of the patients presented within 48 hours of symptoms. The vast majority of the patients presented with difficulties with passing urine (41.6%), followed by cases of hematuria (18.4%). On admission, 154 patients (26.4%) presented with severe conditions such as anemia as seen in 40.9% of the cases and deterioration in the general health condition as seen in 34.4% of the patients. Leukocytosis was noted in 18.7% of the patients and anemia in 17.9%. Urine culture was positive in 15.4% of the patients and Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen found (40.6%). Ultrasound was the most requested examination (81.2%), followed by a computerized tomography (CT) scan (22%). The most frequent diagnoses were urine retention (42.9%), hematuria (16.9%) and renal colic (10.1%). Emergency interventions were carried out in 525 patients (89.9%) who include bladder catheterization (46.1%), bladder lavage and/or bladder irrigation (20.9%) and suprapubic cystocatheterization (10.1%). Most of the patients (61.3%) were discharged after a mean stay in the hospital of about 5.1 ± 7.5 days. A mortality rate of 3.8% was also recorded among the patients studied.

The aim of our study was to report the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of urinary lithiasis in children in the context of our practice. Aim: To report the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of urinary lithiasis in children in our practice context. Patients and Method: This was a retrospective descriptive study carried out in the Urology Department of the University Hospital of Abeche from January 2013 to December 2019. Thirty files of patients aged 0 to 15 years operated on for urinary lithiasis were retained. The variables studied for each patient were: age, sex, clinical, para-clinical and therapeutic aspects. Results: We selected 30 cases. Patients ranged in age from 0 to 15 years, with an average age of 5.5 years. There were 26 boys and 4 girls. 62% of the patients were from rural areas. The antecedents were bilharziasis, urinary tract infections, congenital malformation, trauma and bladder lithiasis. Clinical symptoms were dominated by acute urinary retention (n = 16) and dysuria (n = 14). Urine cytobacteriological tests were positive in 16 cases. The diagnosis was made in the majority of cases by ultrasound and/or unprepared abdomen (UA). The location of lithiasis was mainly the bladder (n = 16). Treatment was surgical in 96.7% of cases, with cystolithotomy predominating. Therapeutic results were satisfactory in 90% of cases.
