Abstract
Pyelolithotomy and robotic partial nephrectomy can be performed effectively when treating patients with concurrent kidney mass and renal stone using the same surgical access. This minimally invasive approach should be contemplated as an option when managing patients with both conditions in an ipsilateral kidney. Furthermore, it will diminish the necessity of various surgeries while preserving renal function and maintaining oncological outcomes. We underline that the association of both procedures increases the likelihood of technical complications and risk for clot-related or stone-related ureteral obstruction, infection, and urine leak.
