Retrograde intrarenal surgery or RIRS is an advanced procedure to remove kidney stones as large as 14mm. The surgery can help treat stones that are stuck in the kidneys (upper calyx, middle calyx, and lower calyx), ureter, or urinary bladder without the need for any cuts or incisions. RIRS uses a ureteroscope and advanced technology to remove stones with minimal complications. Get in touch with us to know more about the RIRS surgery in Faridabad.

Procedure
After the diagnosis, the patient is scheduled for a day for the surgery. Refer to our READ MORE section to know about surgery preparation. Before the surgery, the patient is administered spinal or general anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia sedates the lower half of the body. General anesthesia makes the patients unconscious (they will be asleep during the entire procedure). The choice of anesthesia is usually based on the preference of the patient.
After the anesthesia is given, the urologist inserts a long, flexible tube called an endoscope into the urethral passage to the ureter to reach the urine-collecting part of the kidneys. The surgeon simultaneously also leverages x-rays and image screening to generate live images of the kidneys on an external screen for extreme precision. The endoscope is moved up in retrograde towards the kidneys. Once the stones are located through the endoscope, the surgeon uses a laser probe to crush or manipulate the kidney stones accordingly. Then the stones are removed using small forceps in their intact form. We use an advanced holmium laser to target stubborn stones and break them without damaging the surrounding organs. The stone fragments are then subsequently collected or caught in the stone basket. Once the surgeon makes sure all the stone fragments are collected, the basket is removed.
The surgeon usually inserts double J stents to expand the ureteral passage. The stent is a flexible, hollow tube that runs from the kidneys to the ureter. The stent may be kept in the kidneys for as long as it takes for stones to completely flush out of the body. Usually, it is 10 to 14 days under normal circumstances. The objective of the stent is to enlarge the ureteral passage to help flush out stone fragments from the body smoothly. Further, the viability of the RIRS procedure has been upgraded by the progression and advancements in related tools and equipment like wires, ureteral access sheath, and stone containers.
