RIRS for Kidney Stones: A Painless, Scar-Free Alternative to Surgery
Kidney stones can bring about excruciating pain and severe health issues if not cured successfully. At Hande Hospital, Shenoy Nagar, we have expertise in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) — a modern, minimally invasive surgical procedure for kidney stone surgery. RIRS ensures high success rates, reduced recovery time, and lower pain tolerance when compared to conventional surgical procedures.
RIRS is done with a thin, flexible ureteroscope inserted through the normal urinary tract (through the urethra and bladder) into the kidney. After finding the stone, a high-powered laser fiber is used to shatter it into small pieces. The pieces are removed with a basket or passed out naturally through urine.
It is particularly effective for:
- Stones in the deeper parts of the kidney or in inaccessible sites
- Individuals with anomalies of their anatomy or with a history of previous surgeries
- Patients in whom stones recurred
- Individuals seeking a scar-free, non-invasive treatment solution
In contrast to open or laparoscopic surgery, RIRS involves no cuts or incisions, has quicker recovery, less pain, and shorter hospital stay. With most patients, normal activities can be returned to within a few days.
At Hande Hospital, our highly trained urologists and surgical staff operate with the utmost in modern technology and follow international safety and cleanliness standards. Each RIRS procedure is carefully tailored to maximize stone removal without harming kidney function.
