Simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SBPCNL) offers a cost-effective solution for bilateral kidney stones, proving beneficial and advantageous over separate unilateral procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Bilateral renal stones pose treatment challenges.
  • Sequential unilateral procedures can increase patient burden and healthcare costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SBPCNL) with sequential unilateral PCNL.
  • Evaluate key surgical and post-operative variables.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective comparison of 198 patients undergoing SBPCNL across two centers.
  • Compared with 300 patients undergoing unilateral PCNL in separate sessions.
  • SBPCNL utilized for complex cases requiring multiple ESWL sessions per side.

Main Results:

  • Successful bilateral stone clearance in 190/198 SBPCNL patients in one session.

  • No significant differences in hospital stay, analgesia, or complications between SBPCNL and unilateral PCNL.
  • Mean operative time for SBPCNL was 46 minutes; mean hospital stay was 4.3 days.

    • Conclusions:

    • SBPCNL is a cost-effective and beneficial approach for selected patients with bilateral kidney stones.
    • Demonstrates clear advantages over performing separate unilateral PCNL procedures.
    • Supports SBPCNL as an efficient treatment option for bilateral nephrolithiasis.
