Abstract

Bilateral supernumerary kidneys and associated urinary stone disease are rarely seen in clinical practice, and only three cases have been reported in the literature to date. We report a 15-year-old male patient having a bilateral supernumerary kidney with an obstructive left ureteric stone successfully managed with retrograde intrarenal surgery. Stones in such anomalous kidneys pose a challenge for the urologist, and imaging is essential for surgical intervention planning. RIRS with holmium laser lithotripsy is a safe and effective treatment with a high single-stage stone-free rate and low complication rate in experienced hands.<br /> (© 2024 The Authors.)
