RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) for kidney stone treatment at Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, Bangalore. Advanced minimally invasive laser stone removal.
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is a minimally invasive treatment used to remove kidney stones using laser technology through the natural urinary passage. This procedure helps treat kidney stones effectively while avoiding open surgery and large incisions. At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, RIRS treatment is offered after detailed evaluation of stone size, location, and patient suitability.
RIRS stands for Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery. In this procedure, a flexible endoscope is passed through the urethra, bladder, and ureter to reach the kidney. Laser energy is then used to break kidney stones into fine fragments, which are either removed or allowed to pass naturally through urine.
RIRS is commonly recommended for kidney stones that are not suitable for ESWL or do not pass with medical treatment.
