Endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) simultaneously combines flexible ureterorenoscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to explore the pyelocaliceal system and aims at the one-access resolution of urolithiasis along the entire urinary tract.1 It is a practical option for the treatment of complex renal calculi.2 The major advantage of using simultaneous antegrade-retrograde therapy for complex renal calculi is the better stone-free rates by exploiting the full array of endourological armamentarium.3 We hereby present a case to determine safety and efficacy of ECIRS in the treatment of a complete staghorn stone in a patient with a single functional kidney.
