  ABSTRACT: Introduction: Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a multi-invasive technique in the management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. It constitutes a reference in developed countries; however in sub-Saharan Africa, it is prostatic adenomectomy which is mostly used. The aim was to analyze the results of the TURP carried out at the General National Reference University Hospital in N’Djamena (Chad). Patients and Methods: This is a retro-prospective study which extended over a period of 2 years, from June 2014 to May 2016. The records of all patients who had undergone TURP during this period were listed and analyzed. We did frequencies and average calculations. Results: 59 patients’ results that were treated with TURP were collected. TURP represented 33.4% of all interventions performed for prostate pathologies. The average age of our patients was 66 ± 8.06 years (50 to 92). Urinary retention was the main reason for consultation (45.7%; n = 27) followed by dysuria (27.1%; n = 16). TURP was associated with another procedure in 28.8% (n = 17). The average duration of hospitalization of our patients was 4.15 days with extremes of 2 to 9 days. Perioperative complications represented 13.6% of cases, early complications represented 15.3% of cases and late complications represented 6.8% of cases. The postoperative voiding status with an average follow-up of 6 months was judged to be good in 72.8% of cases (n = 43). Conclusion: TURP occupies an important place in the management of prostate pathologies with precise indications. It offers many advantages. It must be popularized in our countries; this will make it possible to limit morbidity and mortality rates and slow down medical evacuations abroad.
