This study was done to evaluate our experience of combining a retroperitoneal laparoscopic urological operation with other transperitoneal laparoscopic operations.  Materials and methods  We present a retrospective study of a series of 20 cases of retroperitoneal laparoscopic urological surgeries combined with at least one transperitoneal laparoscopic procedures, performed by a senior minimally invasive surgeon, between March 2013 and August 2020. We have excluded three patients where either of the procedures required conversion to open surgery. We retrospectively reviewed all the data regarding the patient’s demographics, combined surgical procedures done, operative time taken, blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and days of hospital stay.  Results  Total of 20 patients had undergone simultaneous retroperitoneal and transperitoneal laparoscopic procedures. A total of nine (45%) cases comprised a combination of retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Two patients had undergone a combination of three laparoscopic procedures in the same operation. The mean hospital stay was 3.6 days. Blood loss was minimal to moderate in all the patients, none needed any perioperative blood transfusion. No major complications were noted in any patients.  Conclusion  Combining a retroperitoneal laparoscopic urological procedure with another transperitoneal laparoscopic surgery is very much feasible. It becomes even easier and relevant provided both the procedures are performed by a single, experienced laparoscopic surgeon.
