  • What Is RIRS Surgery?

    Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery, commonly known as RIRS, is a retrograde ureteroscopic technique for extracting kidney stones. In this procedure, surgeons make the urethra the pathway to reach the kidneys. It is a minimally invasive technique that involves no cuts or holes. The surgeons use an optic endoscope to reach the kidneys and locate the stones and then use a laser to reduce the stones to dust. This technique is generally used in cases of large or complex stones that lithotripsy can’t treat. RIRS has high success rates, and the risk of complications is close to zero. Get in touch with Pristyn Care’s experienced urologists to get the best RIRS surgery in the country.

    What Happens During RIRS Surgery

    Diagnosis 

    Before performing RIRS, the surgeons recommend some diagnostic tests which help them assess several factors, including the size and location of the stones, underlying diseases, and the patient’s overall health. All the patients need to have the test results with them on the day of the surgery. The commonly performed diagnostic tests before RIRS are : 

    Procedure

    RIRS is performed in the following steps: 

    The patient is given anesthesia which keeps them sedated throughout the surgery. The doctor can use spinal or general anesthesia for this procedure, based on the patient’s preference. 

    In the next step, the surgeon inserts an endoscope, which is a long and flexible tube, into the urethra to reach the urine-collecting part of the kidneys. This is an x-ray-guided procedure, and the doctors can see the images externally on a screen. This allows the surgeon to perform the procedure with more precision. 

    The endoscope is then moved upwards in retrograde towards the kidneys to locate the stones. Upon locating the stones, the surgeons use a laser probe to break the kidney stones and reduce them into fine fragments. 

    The broken fragments are then collected in a ‘stone basket’ and ultimately extracted through the same passageway. 

    Double J-Stunting in RIRS 

    The surgeons may use double J stents- ureteral stents placed in the ureter before or after the surgery. In some cases, the stents are placed before the surgery to dilate the ureter to allow the endoscope to pass easily during the procedure. In other cases, the stent is placed after the surgery for 7 to 10 days to promote healing.

      The coordinator Mr.yatin is very irresponsible person. I informed him to book ESWL appointment at Jyoti Hospital at 1 week ago and when u tried to contact him day before the appointment I didn't get any response from him. All calls went unanswered. At the end of the day a another guy from pristyn care called and informed me because of some internal issue with jyoti Hospital we can't book it and try to convince me to choose another option of RIRS.
