Purpose Penile skin flap uretroplasty is a useful technique for a long urethral stricture due to the ample length and surgical handling characteristics. We investigated the surgical technique and initial results of uretroplasty for anterior urethral strictures using a dorsal penile skin flap.Patients and methods From January 2003 to January 2018, a total of 77 patients underwent substitution urethroplasty using dorsal penile skin flap for bulbar urethral strictures in our institution. All patients were assessed preoperatively, and followed postoperatively by physical examination, urinalysis, retrograde and voiding urethrography, uroflowmetry and post-void residual urine measurement. Success was defined as no requirement of additional urethral instrumentation.Results The mean age was 45 years (10-87). The mean stricture length was 5cm (3-10cm). The mean flap length was 6cm. Urinary fistula was the most common postoperative complication. The mean follow-up was 60 months (6-120). The overall success rate was 88%. Recurrent strictures were found in 4 patients (5%) at 1 year. At 3 year follow-up, 5 (7%) more patients had recurrences. All recurrences were managed by internal urethrotomy.Conclusions Substitution urethroplasty using penile skin flap appear to be a safe and efficient technique for the treatment of a long and complex anterior urethral stricture. It provides encouraging cosmetic and functional results.

A 34-year-old man, trader, and married with four wives, otherwise healthy, without any remarkable medical history, was admitted in urology ward in emergency with superficial venous thrombosis of the penis known also as Penile Mondor’s Disease (PMD), a rare nosologic entity of the penis associated with pain and an indurated dorsal cord of the root of the penis. The patient receives nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and coagulation and platelet aggregation inhibitors drugs. Healing and total recovery occur after eight weeks without any complications.

A 15-years-old boy was admitted in our hospital emergency unit with complaints of injured and hemorrhagic penile glans after donkey bites. The accident occurred during domestic activity with the animal when the boy attempted to guide the donkey. After thorough physical examination, the patient presented a penile glans amputation. Tetanic prophylaxis was started. The patient benefited from hemostatic suturing, stump regularization and penile glans reconstructive surgery and there was no complication. Functional and cosmetic results were satisfactory with good quality of micturition after six months’ follow-up.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative complications using a standardized classification; modified Clavien's classification. Patients and methods: We have included all patients aged at least 50-years-old on the day of surgery between the 1 st June 2015 and 31 st May 2017 at the urology division of Souro Sanou University Teaching Hospital of Bobo-Dioulasso. Complications reports were performed according to the modified Clavien-Dindo system. Results: Hundred patients (100) presenting a complication after BPH surgery were included in this study in a total of 312 open prostatectomies performed. The postoperative complication rate was 32%. Seventy percent of the patients had at least one complication. Grade I and Grade II complications according to the modified Clavien's classification system were the most represented (87%). Two patients (2) died in the immediate postoperative period (Grade V). The presence of urethral catheter before surgery was identified as a risk factor for complication. A statistically significant difference was found in the group ICC ˃ 2 (Charlson Index of Comorbidity) for age parameter in the occurrence of complication. Conclusions: Open prostatectomy is associated with high morbidity in subjects with urinary catheters prior to surgery. Grade I and Grade II according to the modified Clavien's classification system were the most reported.

La fracture du pénis est une urgence urologique rare, définie comme une rupture traumatique de la tunique albuginée du corps caverneux. Elle touche essentiellement le sujet jeune au cours de l'activité sexuelle. Le but de ce travail était de rapporter les résultats de la prise en charge de 06 cas de fracture de verge observés dans le service d'Urologie-Andrologie du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sanon Souro (CHUSS) de Bobo-Dioulasso. Il s'agissait de six patients d'âge moyen de 38,3 ans, reçu pour tuméfaction douloureuse de la verge pour 04 cas et d'urétrorragie persistante pour 02 cas au décours de faux pas du coït ou de manipulation forcée de la verge. La tuméfaction douloureuse de la verge avec la verge en “aspect d'aubergine” a été le principal signe retrouvé. Le traitement a consisté en une évacuation de l'hématome intra-caverneux suivi d'une albuginorraphie pour 05 cas et pour un cas d'un traitement conservateur. Les suites opératoires ont été simples pour l'ensemble des patients.
