ABSTRACT: Goals: The goals are to assess the use of
Double Jendo-prostheses in urinary obstructions in the Hospital General de
Grand Yoff of Dakar (HOGGY). Patients and methods: This is a 4-year
retrospective study (1st January 2009-31st December 2012). The study included
all patients with obstruction of the upper urinary tract, and with a reversing
type Double Jendo-prostheses. Findings: A total of 82 patients were chosen for
this study, including 41 males. Patient’s average age was 45 years. Kidney
failure accounted for 11.5% of the causes of consultations. Lithiasic obstacles
(34.2%) and tumours (21.5%) were the most recurrent. Catheter was successfully
placed in 78% of cases, and highly contributed to improve renal function in 69%
of cases. The frequently complications found in patients with Double J
Catheters were back pain and urinary tract infections. Four cases of catheters
calcifications were reported. Catheter was replaced in 62.2% of patients within
an average period of 6.9 months. Conclusion: Double J Catheters remain
important in the preservation of renal function in case of obstruction. Its use
requires a mastery of these indications and a rigorous follow-up.
