Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery

Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure specifically designed to treat kidney stones and other intrarenal conditions without the need for external incisions. During RIRS, a flexible ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra and bladder, reaching up into the kidney. Once in place, the surgeon uses specialized instruments to break down the kidney stones into small fragments, which are then removed or passed naturally through urination. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and usually requires a short hospital stay.

RIRS offers a high success rate with minimal discomfort and a quicker recovery compared to more invasive surgeries. It is an ideal option for patients seeking a less invasive solution to their kidney stone problems.

Common Symptoms of Kidney Stones

  • Intense pain in the back or side
  • Blood in the urine
  • Frequent urinary tract infections
  • Difficulty urinating
  • Persistent nausea or vomiting

Why This Procedure is Important?

RIRS is particularly crucial for managing kidney stones that are small to medium in size but cannot be treated effectively with more conventional methods such as shock wave lithotripsy. It is also an excellent option for patients who have complex stone locations or who cannot undergo more invasive procedures. By opting for RIRS, patients can remove troublesome kidney stones with minimal recovery time, reducing the risk of further complications such as infections, obstruction, or kidney damage.
