RIRS Surgery for Kidney Stone in Keshavnagar Pune (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)

This approach utilizes a flexible ureteroscope to navigate through the urinary system, allowing surgeons to visualize and treat stones  within the kidney.

Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a modern and effective minimally invasive technique for treating kidney stones and addressing other kidney-related issues. 

Once the scope reaches the desired location, the surgeon uses an advanced holmium laser to target stubborn stones and break them into smaller fragments without damaging the surrounding organs. The stone fragments are then collected in the stone basket which is subsequently removed.

The surgeon may insert stents to expand the ureteral passage. Stents are flexible, hollow tubes that run from the kidneys to the ureter. They enlarge the ureteral passage to help flush out stone fragments from the body smoothly. Ureteral stents are removed once the stones are completely flushed out of the body. Usually, it takes 10 to 14 days under normal circumstances. By using a flexible ureteroscope and advanced tools, surgeons can break down and remove kidney stones using advanced thulium  laser without the need for external incisions. 

RIRS offers numerous benefits in terms of reduced pain, quicker recovery, and preserved kidney function, making it a valuable option for patients requiring kidney stone treatment. 

As with any medical procedure, it’s important for patients to consult with their healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on their individual condition.
