Simultaneous Bilateral Ureteral Calculi: A New Paradigm for Management

To define the need for emergent intervention between patients with SBUC compared to unilateral ureteral calculi (UUC). Patients with simultaneous bilateral ureteral calculi (SBUC) represent a potential urological emergency due to possible anuria and/or electrolyte imbalance. While conventional practice mandates immediate intervention in these patients, little data exist to define the rate of these events. METHODS: Records of all patients with ureteral stones treated ureteroscopically over an 11-year period were reviewed to identify those with SBUC.
