One Session or Two? A Meta-Analysis of Same-Session Versus Staged Bilateral Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
ssPCNL is a safe, effective, and efficient alternative to the staged approach for managing bilateral renal stones. It offers comparable clinical outcomes while reducing patient morbidity and health care burdens associated with multiple procedures and longer hospitalizations. Thus, ssPCNL should be considered a valuable treatment option for appropriately selected patients in experienced centers.
