Objective: to study SSI at Saint Jean de Dieu Hospital Tanguieta (SJDHT), prior to the implementation of a permanent monitoring system. Method: transversal, and descriptive study with prospective data collection was performed from 1 July to 31 janvier 2017 in the department of general surgery of SJDHT. The hospital lacks in a microbiology unit. All patients who underwent surgery during this period were included and the monitoring lasted one month. SSIs diagnostic was carried out according to WHO criteria as described in the Practical Guide for the Prevention of Nosocomial Infections published in 2002. Statistical tests (χ-square and Student’s t-test) were applied and p 0.05 were statistically significant. Results: Of 343 patients recorded, 105 (30.6%) had SSI. Their age averaged 40.3 years and the sex-ratio (men/women) was 2.8. The emergency surgery resulted in a 50.0% rate of SSI (p = 0.00). The SSI rate for clean and clean-contaminated surgery was 6.3% against 94.6% for infected surgery (p = 0.00). The SSI rates were 100% and 66.7% for NNISS = 2 and NNISS = 1 (p = 0.00), respectively. Superficial SSI rate was 13.3%, while deep SSI and organ/space SSI were 46.7% and 40%, respectively. The hospital stay of patients with SSI was three times longer than the length of patients without SSI (p = 0.00). Conclusion: SSIs are real burden at SJDHT. Appropriate measures must be adopted to reduce its prevalence.展开更多

It is a major public health problem in developing countries. Objective: Study the epidemiology and treatment of obstetric fistulas at the Departmental University Hospital Centre of Borgou and Alibori (CHUD-B/A) in Parakou, Benin. Study Method: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study with prospective data collection on women treated during OF care missions from February 2020 to April 2021 in CHUD-B/A in Parakou, Benin. The data concerned their socio-demographic characteristics, obstetric history, the clinic and therapeutic characteristics of their obstetric fistulas. Results: In total 97 patients with OF were treated during the 14-month period. The average age of the patients was 36.42 ± 11.75 years old. The patients were married (51.54%), without professional occupation (54.64%) and had no formal education (73.20%). The vesico-vaginal variety was predominating (54.64%). The fistulas were of Type I (46.39%), Type II (20.62%) and Type III (32.99%) according to the classification of Waaldjik Kees. The patients were operated on under spinal anesthesia (94.79%), and vaginally (55.67%) according to the principle of Chassar Moir (68, 60%). The associated procedures were lengthening urethroplasty (17.53%), and interposition of the Martius flap (1.03%). The overall success rate without Stress Urinary Incontinence was 71.13%. The factors associated with the failure of the fistula repair were: the nutritional status of the patients (p = 0.004), the previous repair failure (p = 0.001), the high size of the fistula (p = 0.007), the fistula severity (p and a urethral reconstruction (p Conclusion: OF is a relatively frequent pathology in Benin. Vesico-vaginal fistula is the most common form. The success rate of the surgical treatment is satisfactory, but depends on some factors.展开更多

Material and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study that took place over a period of 4 years and 4 months (52 months) from January 1<sup>st</sup> 2017 to April 30<sup>th</sup> 2021. All cases of urogenital trauma treated in the General surgery department during the period were collected. Patient records, hospitalization registers and operating reports were used to collect information. Data entry was done using Epi data 3.1 software, French version. The analysis was performed using MedCalc software (version 19.4.1. Mariakerke, Belgium), and Epi info software version 7. Results: In 52 months, 75 cases of urogenital trauma were collected. The prevalence of urogenital trauma was 1.1% of admissions with an annual incidence of 17.3 cases. The modal age class was [20;40], i.e. 49.3%. Males accounted for 76.0% (n = 57) of cases. Urethral and kidney injuries were found in 33.3% and 21.3%, respectively. The external genitalia was involved in 24.0%. Road traffic accidents occupied the first place with 62.6%. Kidney lesions were revealed by lumbar pain in 62.5% (n = 10) and post traumatic hematuria in 25% (n = 4) of cases. Most of the patients (n = 8, i.e. 50%) were classified as grade I according to the AAST classification. Conclusion: Urogenital trauma is common in our environment and can be life-threatening. Knowledge of their epidemiology will allow for prevention and good management.展开更多
