Context: Thanks to the increase in the number of urologists in Togo, urological activity is improving rapidly. Objective: This study aims at presenting the epidemiological aspects of the diseases diagnosed in urology consultation at the Sylvanus Olympio Teaching Hospital in Lome. Materials and Methods: This research was a two-year retrospective and descriptive study. The data for the analysis were collected from the records of patients received in consultation for urological pathology. The parameters taken into account are: frequency, age, sex, occupation, patient history and diagnosis. Results: 602 patients were admitted at the department of urology within two years, with an annual frequency of 301. The average age of the patients was 48.63 ± 19.69 years; the sex ratio (M/F) was equal to 12.08. Patients over 60 years of age accounted for 33.3% of the patients seen. The medical history of 88 cases showed that the bladder catheterization was most frequent (22 cases) followed by hypertension (15 cases). Benign prostatic hyperplasia was the most frequently diagnosed pathology accounting for 24.9% of the consultations. Conclusion: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most frequent pathology in urology consultation at the Sylvanus Olympio Teaching Hospital in Lome.
