Abstract

Introduction: Morbidity at discharge after admission for urological diseases has been scarcely described in the literature. Methodology: A quantitative, observational, descriptive, longitudinal study was conducted at the Peltier University Hospital Center in Djibouti, from January to July 2024. The population was 131 patients hospitalized in the urology service and the sample was 129 discharged patients. Objective: to describe morbidity at discharge from the Urology service. Results: The largest number of patients admitted were patients diagnosed with prostatic hypertrophy and hydronephrosis. Adenomectomy and minimal access surgeries were performed relatively frequently and the predominant complication was infection of the surgical wound. Conclusions: The patients who were admitted and treated had diagnoses that reveal the impact of sociodemographic factors on the population of Djibouti, advanced age and desert climate.
