What is RIRS?
RIRS stands for Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery, a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat kidney stones located inside the kidney or upper urinary tract.
During the RIRS procedure, a urologist inserts a specialized tool called a ureteroscope (a thin tube with a camera at the tip) through the urinary tract, bladder, and ureter to reach the kidney—without any external incision. Once the stone is located, a laser device is used to break it into smaller fragments that can be passed naturally with urine.
Advantages of RIRS:
- No skin incisions required
- Faster recovery compared to open surgery
- Minimal pain and bleeding risks
- Can access parts of the kidney that are difficult to reach with other methods
