Abstract

Introduction: Acute large bursae (ALB) are a frequent reason for emergency consultations. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, clinical course, treatment and evolution of ALB at Abeche University Hospital. Patients and Method: This was a 45-month cross-sectional study from January 2020 to September 2023. Male patients of any age who had been admitted to and treated for acute large bursae at the Abeche University Hospital were included. Sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic variables were studied. Results: Acute large bursae accounted for 7.92% of emergency admissions. The average age was 39.40 years. 60.27% of patients came from rural areas. The average consultation time was 4 days, ranging from a few hours to 18 days. The main reason for consultation was pain. Strangulated inguino-scrotal hernia was the most common, followed by acute orchi-epididymitis, accounting for 41.8% and 26% of cases respectively. Traditional treatment prior to consultation was attempted in 13.7% of cases. All patients were treated as emergencies, 41 of whom had received medical treatment. Of the patients treated surgically, orchidopexy was performed in all. Parietal suppuration and anaemia occurred in 6.2% and 4.8% of cases respectively. Conclusion: A accounts for a significant proportion of our emergency care activity. However, patients are seen with a delay, which jeopardises the functional prognosis of the testicle and intestine.
