RIRS – Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery
RIRS – Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is an advanced, scarless technique used to treat kidney stones by accessing the kidney through the natural urinary passage using a flexible ureteroscope. It eliminates the need for any external incision, making it one of the safest and most comfortable options for stone removal.
Dr. Bhange uses high-precision laser lithotripsy during RIRS to fragment stones into fine dust, which is then cleared naturally or retrieved, ensuring high stone-free rates with minimal trauma to the kidney and a quick return to normal activity.
Contact UsSteps Involved in RIRS Treatment
A precise, step-by-step approach for safe and complete stone clearance.
Flexible Ureteroscope Access
A thin, flexible scope is gently passed through the natural urinary tract into the kidney — no cuts or incisions required.
Laser Lithotripsy
High-precision Holmium laser energy is used to fragment kidney stones into fine, dust-like particles.
Stone Fragmentation & Dusting
Larger stones are broken down into fine dust particles that pass naturally, reducing the need for retrieval instruments.
DJ Stent Placement
A temporary internal stent is placed to support urine drainage and aid healing, removed in a quick follow-up visit.
Day-Care Procedure
Performed as a short-stay procedure, allowing most patients to return home within 24 hours.
Complete Post-Op Care
Structured follow-up, imaging and stent removal ensure full stone clearance and smooth recovery.
