Simultaneous bilateral retrograde intrarenal surgery for bilateral complex upper tract stone disease

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
• Endourology

Background:

• Upper tract stone disease management has evolved with retrograde endoscopy.
• Minimally invasive approaches aim to reduce patient morbidity.

Observation:

• A patient presented with complex bilateral upper tract stones.
• Simultaneous bilateral retrograde intrarenal surgery was performed.

Findings:

• This case report details the initial experience with a novel surgical approach.
• The procedure addressed complex bilateral upper tract stones in a single session.

Implications:

• Simultaneous bilateral retrograde intrarenal surgery may offer a less invasive option for complex bilateral stones.
• Further research is needed to establish the safety and efficacy of this technique.
