    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Bilateral kidney procedures often require complex surgical approaches.
    • Conventional renal incisions can lead to prolonged recovery and pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel surgical technique for synchronous bilateral nephrectomy or nephrolithotomy.
    • To report operative details, indications, advantages, and complications of this technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A series of ten patients underwent synchronous bilateral nephrectomy or nephrolithotomy.
    • The technique involved bilateral posterior vertical incisions with minimal muscle dissection.

    Main Results:

    • The described surgical technique was successfully applied in ten patients.

  • Advantages included minimal abdominal musculature cutting, rapid patient mobilization, and absence of prolonged post-operative pain.

    • Conclusions:

    • Synchronous bilateral nephrectomy or nephrolithotomy using bilateral posterior vertical incisions is a viable and advantageous surgical approach.
    • This technique offers benefits over conventional renal incisions, particularly in patient recovery and comfort.
