Cirugía Endourológica Secuencial de la Litiasis Renoureteral Bilateral

Renal lithiasis is considered the third most prevalent pathology of the urinary tract. The increased incidence, including bilateral renal lithiasis, has led to the development of novel techniques to improve surgical efficacy. Sequential bilateral endoscopic surgery is one of these techniques and has important benefits such as reduced hospital stay, treatment costs, no exposure to a second anesthesia time, and lower morbidity. Objective: to describe sequential bilateral endourological surgery in patients with bilateral renal ureteral lithiasis. Methods: A literature review was performed using PubMed, Medline, and open-access urological journals. Conclusions: Sequential bilateral endourological surgery is effective and safe. It has great advantages such as high stone-free rates in both kidneys with a single intervention, less exposure to anesthesia, and shorter hospital stays.
