Oesophageal atresia is a common malformation in which the survival rate in developed countries is around 90%, while its mortality remains very high in developing countries. Oesophageal stricture post-oesophageal atresia repair is traditionally treated by non-surgical approach. However, surgical resection of the oesophageal stricture may be necessary after the failure of dilations. We report one case of refractory oesophageal stricture post-EA repair in a 3-year-old girl, who underwent oesophageal atresia Type III repair at 11-day-old. We performed an end-to-end oesophageal anastomosis with tracheal oesophageal fistula closure by extra-pleural approach. The patient was lost to follow-up for 3 years. She was seen later for anastomotic oesophageal stricture with the failure of oesophageal dilatations. Surgical resection of oesophageal stricture was performed with end-to-end oesophageal anastomosis.

Background: Prostate cancer is the most common urological cancer. In our regions, diagnosis is most often made late because of the lack of systematic screening and difficulties in accessing health care. Objective: To assess the management of prostate cancer at the Saint Jean de Dieu hospital in Tanguiéta. Material and methods: This was a retrospective and descriptive study carried out at the Tanguiéta area hospital in the general surgery department over a period of five years, between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2020. All patients followed for prostate cancer were included in the study. Results: During the study period 45 patients were followed for prostate cancer. The average age of patients was 67 years. Suggestive signs were dominated by symptoms of the lower urinary tract. 66.64% of patients had a Gleason score ≥ 7. In cases where surgery was performed, the post-operative follow-up was simple in 80% of cases. Conclusion: Despite the management of prostate cancers in our context remains a great challenge.
