%X We conducted a cross-sectional study
between February 1st, 2012 and September 30, 2012 at Bobo-Dioulasso University
Teaching hospital. The target population was all patients seen at the
emergency services for acute urinary retention. Among the 155 patients
admitted for urological emergencies, 104 (67.1%) had acute urinary retention.
The average age of patients was 65 years, ranging from 23 to 89 years and the
majority was more than 60 years old (77.8%) and lived in rural areas (64.4%).
Prostate tumor pathology and urethral stricture were the most frequent
diagnosis, and the renal function was impaired in 33.7% of cases.
Urethrovesical drainage, cystocatheterism, and suprapubic cystostomy were the
treatment approach in 56.0%, 28.0% and 15.2% of the cases. Acute urinary
retention is the most common urological emergency and many complications are
associated with urethrovesical sounding. These complications should therefore
be prevented by improving acute urinary care.
