RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)

RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)

What Is It?

To remove stones without creating any kidney incisions, RIRS uses a laser and a fiberoptic endoscope, a viewing tube that goes through the urethra and into the kidney. It is done under a spinal, local, or general anesthetic. 

Is RIRS Necessary?

Large stones are usually treated using an advanced procedure called RIRS. In most cases, it is the greatest choice for patients whose stones range in size from 10 to 14 mm. RIRS is usually successful in kidney stone removal when shockwave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy fail. It is important to discuss medications prior to starting treatment in order to avoid complications after the surgery.
