Abstract

With wide availability and demonstrable efficacy of endourological techniques, open surgery for renal stone disease has largely been replaced in contemporary urological practice. However, with increasing experience of laparoscopy and robotic surgery in urology, the principle of open renal surgery is being revisited. In certain situations, laparoscopic or robotic pyelolithomy may be an excellent minimally invasive alternative to percutaneous nephrolithomy with its unique advantages. We present a case of bilateral large kidney stones managed with bilateral simultaneous robot-assisted laparoscopic pyelolithotomy with excellent results.
