Laser Lithotripsy for Kidney Stones and Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS).
Hande Hospital’s Laser, Laparoscopic, and Cosmetic Surgical Centre offers cutting-edge laser lithotripsy for the treatment of kidney stones. This advanced, minimally invasive procedure provides an effective and safe solution for fragmenting the kidney stones.
What is Laser Lithotripsy?
Laser lithotripsy is a specialized procedure used to treat kidney stones, which are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys. The laser technology involves using a flexible ureteroscope to reach the location of the stone, where a high-energy laser beam is then applied to fragment the stone into smaller, more manageable pieces. These fragments are then removed during the procedure. When the stones are high up in the Urinary tract or in the Kidney itself, RIRS or Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery is performed.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a reliable and advanced kidney stone laser surgery. It is a procedure involving the removal of kidney stones by entering the kidney from the ureter, in a reverse i.e., retrograde manner. It involves the use of a fibre-optic endoscope for visual directions and a Holmium laser to break down the stones into small fragments. RIRS is one of the most advanced, and effective kidney stone surgery.
