RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is a scarless procedure that uses a flexible scope passed through the urinary tract to remove kidney stones with a laser, without any external cuts. It's typically recommended for stones located in the kidney, especially when they are small to medium sized.
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) is used for larger kidney stones and involves a small incision in the back to directly access and remove the stone. It's more effective for bigger stones compared to RIRS, though recovery involves a short hospital stay.
Yes, Laser TURP is a safe and widely used treatment for enlarged prostate (BPH). It involves less bleeding and a shorter hospital stay compared to conventional surgery. Most patients recover within a week and resume normal activities soon after.
