    Simultaneous bilateral lithotomy for extensive kidney stones is safe and effective. This approach offers comparable stone removal and recurrence rates to staged procedures, with improved post-operative infection control.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Extensive bilateral nephrolithiasis presents surgical challenges.
    • Staged procedures for bilateral kidney stones can prolong treatment duration and increase patient burden.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of simultaneous bilateral lithotomy for extensive bilateral nephrolithiasis.
    • To compare outcomes with unilateral staged procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • 14 patients with bilateral kidney stones underwent simultaneous bilateral lithotomy.
    • Anatrophic nephrolithotomy was the primary surgical approach.
    • Renal function (serum creatinine) and stone recurrence were monitored post-operatively.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • No statistically significant change in serum creatinine levels was observed.
    • Low rates of residual stone fragments (7%) and recurrence (11%) were noted.
    • Significant improvement in post-operative urine infection rates (from 71% to 64%) was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • Simultaneous bilateral lithotomy is a safe and effective surgical option for extensive bilateral nephrolithiasis.
    • This approach yields outcomes comparable to staged procedures.
    • The procedure offers potential advantages in terms of efficiency and infection management.
