Bilateral Single-Session Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Feasible and Safe Treatment

Abstract

Bilateral PCNL in a single session is feasible and safe and can be carried out without increased morbidity. We advocate that an endourologist be prepared for bilateral PCNL in the patients in whom it is indicated. The opposite-side PCNL can be done if the first-side treatment is accomplished smoothly and in a reasonable time.
