Abstract:
We present what is to our knowledge the first reported case of simultaneous bilateral tubeless (no nephrostomy tube) percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The 64-year-old man was rendered stone free with a single general anesthetic and discharged within 24 hours. The role, indications, and potential benefits of this novel technique are discussed.
