Background: In Africa, lithogenesis was initially considered rare and it was mostly caused by infections. Recent studies suggest that obesity, change in dietary habits (milk, dairy products) and hot climate can contribute to an increase of the condition in the region. Over the past decades, the management of upper urinary tract urolithiasis has evolved significantly with minimally invasive techniques. The challenge for sub-Saharan countries is related with the acquisition and the training for minimally invasive treatment. In fact, open surgery has less indications in the management of urolithiasis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the preliminary results of ureteroscopic laser treatment for upper urinary tract lithiasis in our hospital. Methods: This was a prospective, descriptive study realized between June 2016 and December 2018. The patients included were those who had ureteroscopic laser treatment for upper urinary tract lithiasis. The treatment was performed under general anesthesia by two surgeons. The studied parameters were: age, sex, patient medical history, comorbidities, renal function, cytobacteriological examination of urine, characteristics of lithiasis, intra and postoperative complications (using the Clavien–Dindo classification), ureteroscopic laser failures (frequency and causes). Success of treatment was defined by: the absence of a residual fragment at the renal and ureteral level or of a residual fragment |
