What is RIRS?
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat kidney stones located inside the kidney or the upper urinary tract. This technique is highly preferred because it does not require any skin incisions.
During the procedure, a urologist uses a special instrument called a ureteroscope — a thin, flexible tube with a camera at its tip. This tool is inserted through the urinary tract, passing through the bladder and ureter until it reaches the kidney. Once the stone is located, a laser is used to break it into smaller fragments that can pass naturally through urine.
Advantages of RIRS:
- No skin incisions, resulting in minimal trauma
- Faster recovery time compared to open surgery
- Very low risk of pain and bleeding
- Can reach stones in areas that are difficult to access with other methods
