The objective of this study was to analyze the indications and results of urethrocystoscopy in the urology department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital in Conakry. Material and Methods: We carried out a prospective descriptive study over 6 months, from 1<sup>st</sup> June to 30<sup>th</sup> November 2022, which included all patients who underwent urethrocystoscopy in the Urology Department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital in Conakry. We studied the following parameters: sex, age, indications and results of the examination, and complications. Results: 77 patients were included. The average age was 56.5 ± 19.5 years with extremes of [15 to 88 years]. The sex ratio was 2.9. Hematuria (50.7%) and lower urinary tract symptoms (32.4%) were the most frequent indications. Cystocystoscopy was normal in 14.3% of patients. Bladder tumors (29.9%) and prostatic hypertrophy (18.2%) were the most found lesions. Conclusion: Rigid urethrocystoscopy occupies an important place in the exploration of hematuria and lower urinary tract symptoms in our department. Bladder tumors and prostatic hypertrophy were the main lesions observed.展开更多

Due to its anatomical position, the cornea is the superficial membrane most exposed to ocular trauma. It is a frequent pathology in ophthalmology, especially in young active subjects. It is an important cause of poor vision or loss of the eyeball with a significant socio-economic impact. Material and Method: We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study of descriptive type with a duration of 5 months from November 01, 2020 to March 31, 2021 in order to study the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic profile of corneal trauma. Results: During the study period, 179 patients consulted for corneal trauma, i.e. 64.9% of ocular trauma. The age group 20 to 29 years old was the most affected with a frequency of 29.1%. The average age of our patients was 26.6 years old, with extremes ranging from 1 to 75 years old. The majority of patients were male with a frequency of 68.2% and a sex ratio of 2.1. Decreased visual acuity was the most frequent reason for consultation in our patients with 93.2%. Perforation was the most frequent type of trauma with 80.3%. All of our patients were treated with medication (100%), 65.3% with physical treatment and 41.8% with surgery. Conclusion: Corneal trauma is a real public health problem. They are especially frequent in young active subjects. Prevention remains the most effective means of treatment.展开更多
