The simultaneous occurrence of UPJO and UVJO is rare, with a challenging diagnosis. Prompt identification and timely surgical intervention are crucial to mitigate the risk of renal function loss attributable to obstruction and infection. Drawing from our expertise and the analysis of the existing literature, we propose employing a simultaneous double minimally invasive strategy in order to optimize the preservation of ureteral vascularity. This approach entails performing a minimally invasive pyeloplasty for the PUJ and utilizing high-pressure balloon dilatation for the UVJ.
