title: [Surgical indications in urogenital schistosomiasis in West Africa (author's transl)].
abstract: Surgical indications in urogenital schistosomiasis are discussed after 12 years of experience in Senegal hospitals. Stenosis or achalasia of lower ureter might cause ureterohydronephrosis which appears to be the main sequella. The local hospitals conditions and the difficulties met with in the long-range surveillance of the patients both require a prudent approach. The replacement plastics with intestine is the logic and ideal solution, but other and simpler techniques are available and may be selected according to the localization and to the value of renal functions.
