About this Procedure
RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery) is a minimally invasive way of treating kidney stones from the inside, without any cuts in the skin. A thin, flexible telescope (ureteroscope) is passed through the urethra and bladder, up the ureter and into the kidney. A laser is then used to break the stone into tiny pieces, or the stone is removed with a small instrument.
It may be recommended for kidney stones that are too big to pass on their own or that cause pain, infection or blockage. Your urologist chooses between RIRS, shock wave lithotripsy and PCNL based on the size, number and location of your stones and your kidney anatomy.
RIRS is done under general anaesthetic, so you are asleep. According to Cleveland Clinic, laser lithotripsy usually takes one to two hours, is usually an outpatient procedure, and most people return to their usual activities around a week afterwards. A small tube (stent) may be left in the ureter for a short time to help urine drain while it heals; your urologist will explain whether you need one and when it will be removed.
RIRS is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, Artemis Hospital and Paras Health in Gurugram, and Fortis Flt. Lt. Rajan Dhall Hospital, Vasant Kunj. Medwell helps you share your CT scan so the urologist can confirm RIRS is right for your stone before you travel.
