Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
A Modern Approach to Kidney Stone Treatment;
RIRS is a highly effective and safe option for many patients with kidney stones. It offers a less invasive, more comfortable, and faster recovery experience, making it a preferred choice for modern kidney stone treatment.
RIRS, often referred to as flexible laser surgery, is a minimally invasive technique used to treat kidney stones. This advanced procedure offers several significant advantages over traditional open surgery:
Bloodless Surgery
RIRS is performed using a thin, flexible scope inserted through the urethra. This eliminates the need for large incisions, reducing blood loss significantly.
Faster Recovery
With minimal tissue damage, patients typically experience a much quicker recovery time compared to open surgery.
Less Postoperative Pain
Due to the no incisions and reduced tissue trauma, RIRS often results in less postoperative pain and discomfort.
No Scar Surgery
As the procedure done through the urethra, there are no visible scars on the body.
