Introduction: Simultaneous bilateral endoscopic surgery (SBES) is the performance of a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on one side and a retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) on the other kidney simultaneously.
Objective: Our aim is to report through a video the surgical technique and the step-by-step details of a SBES performed in a pediatric patient.
Patients And Methods: A 12-year-old male patient with bilateral upper tract urolithiasis.
Results: Supine PCNL is performed in Galdakao-modified Valdivia position. Ureteroscopic surgeon performs retrograde pyelography on PCNL kidney. Percutaneous access under fluoroscopic guidance trough the lower calyx and dilated with Amplatz dilators to 17.5 Fr. Storz® 17.5 MIP Nephroscope is introduced and fragmentation with pneumatic lithotripter starts. On the other kidney, after introduction of ureteral sheet 12/14 Fr and digital flexible ureteroscope Flex Xc ® 9.5Fr, pulverization of the stone starts with Laser Holmium YAG (Oddysey®). Surgeons work simultaneously and share fluoro-scopic c-arm.
Conclusion: SBES can be reproduced in children. Proper planification and preparation of the involved team and OR set up are essential. Further prospective randomized studies are needed to establish safety and efficacy of SBES in pediatric patients.

Background: Patients with or at risk for breast cancer may opt for risk-reducing gynecologic surgeries, including bilateral salpingo-oophorectomies and/or total abdominal hysterectomy. The timing and safety of combining these procedures with autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) are debated. This study assesses the impact of concurrent ABR and gynecologic surgeries on clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

Background: Maxillary canine impaction can result in malocclusion, temporomandibular joint complications, and esthetic concerns, thus influencing craniofacial development. Although cases of impacted canines are not uncommon in clinical practice, the likelihood of simultaneous bilateral impaction is extremely low; very few reports have documented cases of bilaterally symmetrical, inversely impacted canines.
Case Presentation: This paper reports a rare case of maxillary canine impaction, a condition characterized by the abnormal eruption of teeth.

Introduction: Cruciate retaining and posterior stabilizing knee systems are frequently used in total knee replacements. Most researchers compare the results of Cruciate Retaining (CR) and Posterior Stabilizing (PS) knees with those of a control group. The results of using both knee systems in a single patient in simultaneous Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) have been studied less.

In the rubber hand illusion (RHI), individuals perceive a fake hand as their own if an unseen hand and a visible fake hand are stroked simultaneously. We examined how the RHI on either hand influenced the temporal order judgment (TOJ) of bimanual stimulation. In Experiment 1, participants performed TOJ during RHI or non-RHI conditions.
