Summary
Single-stage bilateral retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) effectively treats bilateral kidney stones. This safe procedure achieved an 83.33% stone-free rate with minimal complications.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Nephrolithiasis Management
Background:
- Bilateral renal stones present a treatment challenge.
- Single-stage bilateral procedures aim for efficiency and reduced patient burden.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of single-stage bilateral retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).
- To analyze outcomes including stone-free rate (SFR), surgical parameters, and complications.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 24 single-stage bilateral RIRS procedures in 12 patients.
- Data collected on patient demographics, stone characteristics, operative time, and hospital stay.
Main Results:
- An 83.33% stone-free rate was achieved at 3 months post-procedure.
- Average operative time was 75 minutes, with a median hospital stay of 2 days.
- 25% of patients experienced minor complications (Clavien I-II), with no major complications.
Conclusions:
- Single-stage bilateral RIRS is a safe and effective treatment option for bilateral renal stones.
- The procedure demonstrates favorable outcomes regarding stone clearance and patient recovery.

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

IntroductionIntravenous Urography (IVU) and Retrograde Pyelography (RP) are important diagnostic imaging techniques used to evaluate the urinary system. These methods help identify structural abnormalities, obstructions, and functional issues in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Both procedures use iodine-based contrast media to enhance the visibility of urinary tract structures on X-ray images, though they differ in their methods and indications.1.

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living...

The diagnosis of renal calculi involves several imaging techniques, including non-contrast CT scans and ultrasound. These methods help visualize kidney stones, assess their size and location, and detect possible obstructions. Additionally, Measuring urine pH is useful for diagnosing specific stone types, such as struvite (alkaline pH) and uric acid stones (acidic pH). Cystine stones are primarily linked to cystinuria, a genetic condition. A urinalysis helps detect blood in the urine (hematuria)...
