Simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SBPCNL) is a safe and effective treatment for bilateral kidney stones, offering a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery. However, it

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Nephrolithiasis Management

Background:

  • Bilateral renal calculus disease presents a treatment challenge.
  • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a standard treatment for kidney stones.
  • Simultaneous bilateral PCNL (SBPCNL) offers potential advantages for managing stones in both kidneys concurrently.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SBPCNL).
  • To assess SBPCNL outcomes for patients with bilateral renal calculus disease.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 45 patients (38 male, 7 female) with 90 affected renal units undergoing SBPCNL.
  • Exclusion of patients with pre-existing nephrostomy tracts.
  • Procedures performed under general anesthesia.

Main Results:

  • High stone-clearance rate of 96%.
  • Average procedure duration of 107 minutes; average hospital stay of 6 days.
  • Low complication rate, including transient pyrexia and urine leak; 7% required blood transfusion.

Conclusions:

  • SBPCNL is a safe and effective treatment for bilateral kidney stones in adults and children.
  • Offers benefits of cost-effectiveness, single anesthesia, shorter hospital stay, and faster convalescence.
  • Not recommended for patients with large stone burden or complex pelvicaliceal anatomy.
