Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
An advanced, cutting-edge procedure to treat kidney stones entirely from within the kidney. Using a flexible fiber-optic endoscope passed through the natural urinary tract, a high-powered laser is used to dust and remove stones without making a single cut on your body.

When is RIRS Recommended?
RIRS is the procedure of choice for complex cases, including:
Stones Inside the Kidney
Stones located deep within the kidney's calyces that cannot be reached by standard rigid scopes.
Hard or Resistant Stones
Dense stones that cannot be shattered by external shockwave therapy.
Anatomical Abnormalities
Patients with unusual kidney anatomy or narrowing (strictures) in the urinary tract.
High-Risk Patients
Ideal for patients on blood thinners or those who are obese, as it avoids bleeding risks from open incisions.
Why Choose RIRS?
What to Expect During Recovery
Observation & Discharge
Most patients are kept under observation for a few hours and discharged the same or next day.
Resting at Home
A temporary double-J (DJ) stent may cause a mild sensation in the back or bladder. Hydration is highly encouraged to flush out any remaining stone "dust."
Stent Removal
The DJ stent is removed via a simple outpatient procedure, marking the end of the treatment process.
