ABSTRACT = {Inguinal lymphadenectomy plays a critical role in 
the diagnosis and treatment of several neoplastic 
diseases. Frequently, bilateral lymphadenectomy is 
undertaken for staging and/or treatment of genitourinary 
cancers. Our objective was to determine if bilateral 
endoscopic lymphadenectomy could be performed 
simultaneously, in an effort to decrease overall anesthetic 
and operative time. This was accomplished by utilizing 
two carbon dioxide insufflators concurrently. This 
approach requires careful positioning of the patient, 
surgical team, and instrumentation, as well as special 
anesthetic considerations necessary to avoid severe 
hypercarbia. Simultaneous bilateral endoscopic inguinal 
lymphadenectomy is a technically feasible and efficient 
surgical approach.},
