Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is a surgical procedure performed on the kidney using a viewing tube called a fibreoptic endoscope. Through this device, a laser fibre (Holmium laser) is used to treat kidney stones.
How and why is it done?
RIRS is performed to remove stones without making any incisions on the kidney while using a laser and a viewing tube called a fiberoptic endoscope that goes through the urethra into the kidney. It is performed under general, local, or spinal anaesthesia. This surgery can take around 1 to 2 hours. This surgery is required for patients that have kidney stones measuring 1.5cm in diameter.
RIRS is done to remove a stone. The stone is seen through the scope and can then be manipulated or crushed by an ultrasound probe or evaporated by a laser probe or grabbed by small forceps, etc.
