Before recommending Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS), the urologist performs a comprehensive evaluation to determine the size, location, and severity of the kidney stones. These diagnostic tests help assess the patient’s overall health and assist in planning the most effective treatment approach.
Once the diagnosis is complete and the patient is considered suitable for treatment, the surgery is scheduled. RIRS is a minimally invasive procedure performed without any external cuts or incisions, making it one of the most advanced treatment options for kidney stones.
