Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
RIRS is a minimally invasive procedure to treat kidney stones and other disorders of the upper urinary tract. This technique uses a flexible ureteroscope inserted through the urethra up to the kidney. The stone is then fragmented using a laser or special instruments—without the need for any body incisions.
-
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed for patients with large kidney stones that cannot be managed with other methods. The procedure involves making a small incision in the back to access the kidney, where the stone is broken down and removed.
