    Abstract Introduction Amyand's hernia is defined as an inguinal hernia, containing the appendix in the hernia sac. It is a rare form of hernia. Its management is increasingly codified. Clinical history A 5-year-old patient with a non-remarkable past history was brought for consultation with an intermittent inguino-scrotal swelling and discomfort. Clinical examination revealed a non-tender inguino-scrotal swelling with positive transillumination. A conclusion of a communicating hydrocele was made; hence, an indication for surgery. Per operatively, we had as findings the appendix present within, and linked to the hernia sac. We performed an appendectomy and a high ligation of the hernia sac. The post-operative evolution was favourable. Anatomopathological analysis revealed a catarrhal appendix. Conclusion Amyand's hernia remains a rare pathology that can be seen in children with a persistent peritoneo-vaginal canal. Dissection of the hernia sac must be carried out carefully since it is most often discovered intraoperatively and accidental injury to the appendix, which is attached to the wall of the hernia sac can lead to serious complications

    Introduction : L‘Hypertrophie Bénigne de la Prostate (HBP) représente la tumeur bénigne la plus fréquente de l’homme âgé de plus de 50 ans. Plusieurs modalités thérapeutiques sont possibles. Nous avons proposé ici de comparer les résultats entre l’Adénomectomie Trans-Vésicale (ATV) et la Résection Transurétrale Prostatique (RTUP). Matériel et méthodes : Étude transversale analytique sur 86 patients traités au Service d’Urologie de l’Hôpital Central de Yaoundé pendant 2 ans, soit 43 patients pour chaque groupe. Les données sociodémographiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques ont été saisies sur CSPRO version 7.1, analysées sur SPSS version 21.0 et Excel 2016 avec la valeur significative de P ≤ 0,05. Résultats : La moyenne d’âge des patients était de 67 ans et l’indication opératoire était l’échec du traitement médical, la rétention d’urine, le volume de la prostate ≤ 80g et le choix de la technique chirurgicale. Le groupe des ATV enregistrait une durée d’intervention plus longue, une transfusion sanguine systématique, une durée de cathétérisme et d’hospitalisation plus longue que la RTUP. Par contre, on n’enregistrait pas de différence significative en termes de débit urinaire, le Score International des Symptômes de la Prostate (IPSS) et la Qualité de Vie (QV) entre les deux groupes. Conclusion: Comparer l’ATV à la RTUP dans notre travail s’accompagne d’une durée d’intervention plus longue, une transfusion sanguine systématique, une durée de cathétérisme et d’hospitalisation plus longue pour le premier; par contre, en termes de résultats fonctionnels, il ne semble pas avoir de différences significatives entre les deux techniques. La RTUP reste la technique de choix si plateau technique disponible.   English title: Benign prostatic hyperplasia: a comparative study of the results, transurethral resection and adenomectomy Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common benign tumor in men aged over 50. Several therapeutic modalities are possible. We proposed here to compare the results between Transvesical Adenomectomy (TVA) and Transurethral Prostatic Resection (TURP). Materials and methods. Analytical cross-sectional study of 86 patients treated at the Department of Urology of the Yaounde Central Hospital for 2 years that is 43 patients in each group. Sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic data were entered on CSPRO version 7.1, analyzed on SPSS version 21.0 and Excel 2016 with the significant value of P≤ 0.05. Results. The average age of the patients was 67 years and the operative indication was the failure of medical treatment, urine retention, prostate volume ≤ 80g and choice of surgical technique. The TVA group recorded longer operative time, systematic blood transfusion, catheterization time, and hospitalization time than TURP. However, there was no significant difference in urine output, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Quality of Life (QL) between the two groups. Conclusion. Comparing TVA to TURP in our work is accompanied by a longer intervention time, a systematic blood transfusion, a longer catheterization and hospitalization time for the first one; on the other hand, in terms of functional results, there seems to be no significant difference between the two groups. TURP remains the technique of choice if technical platform available
