Oncology therapies have repercussions on the quality of life of patients. This quality of life is a cardinal element in the care pathway of patients. We initiated this work to assess the quality of life after mastectomy., Material and Method: We carried out a descriptive cross-sectional study over a period of 5 years from January 2016 to December 2020 in the General Surgery Department of the Gabriel Touré University Hospital. We included all patients who had undergone surgery for breast cancer with histological evidence and who had undergone a mastectomy and agreed to answer the questionnaire., Results: The QLQC3O questionnaire is a cancer-specific scale used to establish the quality of life score like many others, but with the difference that it is simpler, easier to use and more widely used. We have recorded 79 cases of mastectomy for breast cancer. The prevalence of mastectomy was 5.8%. The median age was 58 years. Patients had at least one child 92.38%. Non-specific ductal carcinoma was the most common histological type with 87.33%. The side effects of mastectomy affect the area of symptoms were the most difficult stage to bear with p value not significant. These situations have seriously affected self-esteem. Among the side effects affecting quality of life (52 cases), digestive disorders (22 cases) were in the first place, followed by dyspnea (7 cases) and financial difficulties (8 cases) which resulted in the sale of goods., Conclusion: The place of quality of life remains undeniable in the therapeutic strategy and its evaluation improves the therapeutic choice., (Le comité de rédaction se réserve le droit de renvoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Aims: To describe the clinical and evolutionary aspects of the primary closure of exstrophy at the CHU Gabriel Touré., Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective and prospective study carried out from January 2014 to December 2019 in all the children admitted and operated on for bladder exstrophy at the CHU Gabriel Touré., Results: We collected 35 cases of exstrophy, ie25 boys and 10 girls. The mean age at diagnosis was 4.8 months. The bladder plate was both normal and budded, ie 28.6% of cases. Plaque infection was found in 45.7%. A malformation was associated in 34.3% of cases. Primary plaque closure was achieved in all of our patients. Postoperative morbidity was 28.6% of cases and mortality 11.4% of cases., Conclusion: Bladder exstrophy is a rare malformation of the urogenital sphere, its management is complex and its mortality is not null., (Le comité de rédaction se réserve le droit de renvoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Acute bursa is a medico-surgical emergency because of its many etiologies threatening the functional prognosis of the testes and their appendages., Objectives: Identify the causes of acute bursaries in the child and describe their clinical and therapeutic aspects., Materials and Method: This was a retrospective descriptive study from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2015 on all children aged 0 to 15 years received and treated for acute scholarship in the Pediatric Surgery department at the teaching hospital Gabriel Touré., Results: In 6 years, we registered 42 patients, ie a frequency of 1.4% of surgical emergencies. The mean age was 2.98 years (24 days-14 years). Prematurity represented 11.9% of cases. Painful scrotal tumefaction was the main reason for consultation (76.2%), The main aetiologies were HISE (90.5%), scrotal trauma (4.7%), orchi epididymitis (2.4%) and testicular torsion (2.4%). The treatment was surgical in 97.6% of cases. The course after 3 months was simple in 97.6% of cases., Conclusion: Acute bursa in children is an uncommon condition, especially affecting infants. Strangulated inguino-scrotal hernia was the main aetiology. The diagnosis must be early and the treatment adequate in order to reduce morbidity and mortality., (Le comité de rédaction se réserve le droit de renvoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Objectives: To study health care-associated infections (HCAI) in teaching hospital Gabriel TOURE., Methodology: This was a prospective study of 6 months (from April to September 2016) which included patients admitted to the General Surgery Department, operated or not, except those who had undergone a necrosectomy. The criteria used for the diagnosis of the infection were those of the CDC of Atlanta., Results: A total of 200 patients were included in the study. Twenty one patients developed IAS that is a frequency of 10.5%. There were 11 men and 10 women with a mean age of 37.7 years with a standard deviation of 17.6 years. Surgical site infection was the most common HCAI (77.3%) followed by urinary tract infection (13.6%) and burn infection (9.1%). The influencing factors were those related to the patients (nutritional status p = 0.004, anemia RR = 3.1 IC p = 0.003 and diabetes), those related to the surgical intervention (the duration of the intervention ≥ 2H, p = 0,0001, the Altemeier class 3 and 4, RR = 4.24, IC p = 0.005, the number of interveners in the blocks ≥7, p = 0.000, the NNISS score 1 and 2 p = 0.0009), invasive procedures (bladder catheter ≥ 4 days p = 0.0000). Escherichia coli was the most isolated microorganism (31.2%) followed by Klebsiella pneumonia and A baumannii (18.7%). The treatment was local (twice-daily dressing with antiseptics), surgical (necrosectomy 16% and re-intervention 10%) and general (adapted to the antibiogram). The consequences of HCAI were an extension of total hospital stay (greater than 7 days) with p = 0.0000, morbidity 3% and mortality 5%., Conclusion: HCAI remains a concern in our country and globally. They prolong the hospital stay. The implementation of a prevention, control and surveillance program will improve the quality of care by significantly reducing HCAI., (Le comité de rédaction se réserve le droit de renvoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Introduction: Surgical site infections (SSI) are frequent and dangerous in the surgical ward. They represent an obsession for the surgeon. The objectives were to determine the frequency of ISOs and risk factors, to identify the germs and to study their sensitivity to different antibiotics., Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with prospective data collection, performed at the general surgery department of the Bocar Sidy Sall University Hospital Center (Kati CHU) from January 2015 to December 2018., Results: During this period of study we recorded 55 cases of ISO out of 650 operated patients with a frequency of 8.46%. 450 patients were operated on the cold operating program (69.23%) and 200 patients on emergency (30.77%). The average age was 39, the sex ratio was 2.66. Among the 55 cases of ISO, 60% of these patients were operated in emergency and 40% in the operating program. The most common strains found were Escherichia coli (E. coli) in 38.3% of cases, Staphylococcus aureus in 23.4% and Klebsiella pneumonia in 13.3%. Hemoglobin levels were normal in 70% of cases. 4 of our patients or 7.27% were diabetic. We did not have any cases of obesity. Of the 55 cases of ISO, 66% were of class 3 and 4 of Altemeier, 59% were of ASA score 2 and ASA 3, 55% were of score 2 of NNISS (National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System), 5.45% were NNISS score 3 or 3 cases and these 3 cases developed ISO. The ISOs were parietal in 49 cases, ie 89%. The recovered germs were 100% sensitive to imipenem. The most informative interventions of the ISOs were peritonitis 25 cases (45.45%), intestinal occlusions 12 cases (21.82%), appendicular abscess 8 cases (14.55%). We had 2 death cases, 3.64%, the average hospital stay was 13 days., Conclusion: Escherichia coli was the common germ found in the ISO in general surgery at Kati BSS Hospital. The usual resistance to antibiotics must provoke effective preventive actions., (Le comité de rédaction se réserve le droit de renvoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Objectives: Our objective was to determine the frequency of bilio-digestive bypass in palliative surgery in pancreatic head cancers, to determine the clinical and para-clinical aspects and to analyze the results of the treatment., Methods: This was a-15 year retrospective study from 1999 to 2014 including any patient with confirmed pancreatic cancer in the anatomo-pathology treated by palliative surgery in the department., Results: In 15 years, we operated152 cases of cancer of the head of the pancreas. The bilio-digestive derivation was performed in 78 patients, or 51.32%. The average age was 58.61 years ± 11.22 years with the extremes of 34 and 79 years old, the sex ratio was 1.44. The disease duration was 4.88 months on average with a standard deviation of 4.28 months and extremes of 1 and 24 months. Courvoisier-Terrier's disease was observed in 76 cases with lesions of the cases. The average pancreatic tumor size was 62.98 mm, and standard deviation = 8.68 with the extremes of45 and 121 mm. We performed a choledoco-duodenal anastomosis and a gastro-entero-anastomosis (GEA) in 85.90% of cases (n = 67), a choledocojejunal anastomosis and a GEA in 7 cases and a choledoco-duodenal anastomosis without GEA in 4 cases. The morbidity and the mortality rates were15.4% and 6.41%, respectively. At six (6) months postsurgery, a complete disappearance the majority of the functional signs was observed., Conclusion: Pancreatic cancer is a slowly developing tumor. Therefore its diagnosis is late; the derivation makes it possible to improve the quality of life of the patients., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Aims: To determine the frequency and factors of complications of intestinal stomas., Methods: This was a retrospective study over a 7 year period from January 2004 to December 2010, covering all children aged 0-15 years, who received a stoma and hospitalized in the period of study. Excluded from this study, alimentary ostomy and urological ostomy, and children whose medical records were incomplete., Results: We examined 192 cases of stoma or 27 cases/year. We noted a complication in 91 (48%) of our patients. The average age was 3.64 ± 5.03 years ranging from 6 hours and 15 years. The complicating factors were: the indication for surgery, type of stoma, the variety of stoma, surgical technique and equipment., Conclusion: The achievement of good technique and appropriate equipment would be needed to reduce some complications of the stoma., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Aims: To determine related factors of complications typhoid perforations in the small intestine in children., Material and Method: A retrospective study was conducted between June 1 st , 2005 to June 30 th , 2010 in all children aged 0 to 14 years treated for peritonitis by ileal perforations in the service of paediatric surgery at the Gabriel Touré teaching hospital. Traumatic perforations and patients with incomplete files were not included in this study., Results: In 5 years time we gathered 105 cases of ileal typhoid perforation. After surgical treatment early outcomes were simple in 70 patients (66.6%), a parietal suppuration had been noted in 15 patients (14.3%) and fistula in 4 (3.9%). Sixteen patients (15.2%) died. Complications were related to patient's age, ASA Score, time frame of care, quantity of peritoneal fluid, number and site of perforation, surgical techniques and the duration of surgery P(<0.05). Sex, anaemia, surgeon, and perforation diameter did not significantly influence the rate of complications., Conclusion: Reduction of morbi-mortality happens through prevention, earlier diagnosis and appropriate management of typhoid fever., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.
