Best RIRS Treatment in Jaipur
RIRS Laser Surgery Treatment
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is a minimally invasive laser surgery used to treat kidney stones.
“Retrograde” means the procedure is done by going backward through the urinary tract (via the urethra and bladder).
“Intrarenal” means inside the kidney.
A thin flexible ureteroscope with a camera is passed through the natural urinary passage (without cuts).
Once the stone is located, a Holmium Laser is used to break it into very fine dust or small fragments, which are then removed or pass naturally.
When is RIRS Recommended?
Kidney stones larger than 8 mm to 2 cm
Stones that cannot pass naturally or with medicines
Stones not suitable for ESWL (shock wave therapy)
Stones located in difficult-to-reach areas of the kidney
Patients who are not fit for open or major surgery
