Ureterovesical reimplantation (UVR) techniques are numerous with each of its advantages and disadvantages. In order to review indications, techniques and the outcomes of the ureterovesical reimplantation in our context of work, we made this study. Material and Method: It was a retrospective, transversal, descriptive and analytic study conducted over a period of 10 years, in the department of urology University Hospital Center Hubert Koutoukou Maga of Cotonou. Patients over 15 years of age who have had a ureterovesical relocation had been included. Results: Thirty-six files were selected. Ureterovesical relocations accounted for 1.8% of surgical procedures. The ligatures iatrogenic ureters and vesico-vaginal fistulas were the most frequently involved in 33.4% and 27.8% respectively. The ureterovesical reimplantation was performed without anti-reflux plasty at 36.1% of patients. The technique of Politano-Leadbetter had been most accomplished, in 82.6% of the cases in which anti-reflux plasty had been made. Suites had been simple in 63.9% of patients. Postoperative complications were dominated by parietal suppurations and vesicocutaneous fistulas in respectively 6 and 4 patients. Conclusion: Ureterovesical reimplantations are interventions that require from the urologist a perfect knowledge given their complexity and the emergency context in which one may be led to practice them. They answer to general principles that reduce operative morbidity.展开更多

But it is not rare that the diagnosis of this pathology is made in adults, especially in low income countries with management problems as Benin Republic. The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology and therapeutic aspects of this congenital malformation in adults, in HKM University Teaching Hospital of Cotonou. Material and Method: It was a retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study, conducted from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2016. Patient files served as data collecting support. All the patients aged 16 years and older were included in this study, treated and followed in the urology clinic department for undescended testis. Results: Twenty-three files were selected. The most represented age group was 16 to 20 years of age. The average consultation time from the observation of the anomaly was 213.6 months. The vacuity of the scrotum was the main reason for consultation. The absence of an intra-scrotal testis was the most clinical finding. The testis was found in the inguinal canal in 15 patients. Surgical re-positioning testis in scrotal location had been conducted for all patients and the open surgery was the only modality. Orchiectomy was performed in presence of atrophic testis. Any complication was reported in postoperative time. Later, two retractions of the testis and two testicular hypotrophies were seen. Semen control (spermograms) revealed persistence of azoospermia in three patients and astheno-zoospermia in another. Conclusion: Cryptorchidism is a pathology of the child but can still be seen in adults in our context. The main reason for consultation is the vacuity of scrotum but also paternity desire. Surgical lowering is the rule. In adults, its main purpose is the surveillance for the easy and early detection of a testicular tumor.展开更多
