RIRS Surgery
What is RIRS surgery and its purpose?
RIRS Full form in medical – Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery
RIRS is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the stones from the kidneys; during the surgery, a type of viewing tube known as a fiberoptic endoscope that is passed through the kidney. Because the fibre-optic is flexible, it may readily bend within the renal system and can easily enter the kidney and ureter.
The tube is inserted into the ureter, which is the part of the kidney that collects urine, and it helps in the visualization of various parts of the kidney. The narrow laser fibre is then passed through the scope, which breakdown stones into extremely fine particles to make it simpler to wash out with urine or saline .

The best aspect about the procedure is that there is no need for an incision, and the patient is given general / local anaesthesia. The urologist will execute the procedure to ensure that you receive the best possible care.
