Problem of the Care of Digestive Surgical Emergencies at the Visceral Surgery Department of Donka National Hospital in Conakry
Introduction: The goal was to highlight the issue of management of digestive surgical emergencies in our department. Methods: This was a prospective study that brought together patients treated for digestive surgical emergencies over a 10-month period (January - October 2014). Results: We collected 135 patients or 21% of all abdominal surgical conditions during the period (N=649). The average age of our patients was 34 years (range: 11 and 80); The sex ratio was 2.19. Public transport was the means used by patients. The reasons for consultation were: abdominal pain (89.63%), vomiting (77.78%), cessation of materials and gas (60%). The average consultation time was 6 days (range: 2 hours and 21 days). Acute generalized peritonitis was the most common (44.44%). The average time to treatment was 11 hours (range: 1 and 29 hours). The management was medico-surgical. The postoperative consequences were simple in (50.37%), the postoperative complications were dominated by parietal infection (30.53%), evisceration (3.70%) and scrotal hematoma (2.96%). One death was noted in (17.04%). The average length of stay was 12 days (range: 1 and 54 days). Conclusion: The management of digestive surgical emergencies remains a challenge. Morbidity and mortality would be revised downwards by reducing the diagnostic delay due to dysfunction of the care system and problems of access to care.
