• A retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is a
  minimally invasive surgical procedure used for
  treating kidney stones and other conditions
  affecting the urinary tract. This procedure
  involves inserting a small flexible scope through
  the urethra, into the bladder, and then into the
  ureter and kidney. In order to locate the stone
  or other problem areas, the surgeon uses the
  scope to observe the inside of the kidney.

Kidney Stone Treatment

• A kidney stone is likely to occur at some point
  in the life of approximately one out of ten
  individuals. There is a risk of kidney stones
  developing in 11 of men and 9 of women.
• The treatment for kidney stones in Kerala ranges
  from drinking sufficient amounts of water to
  surgery. Based on the size and symptoms of the
  stones, your doctor will recommend the level of
  treatment. In Kerala, retrograde intrarenal
  surgery (RIRS) and minimal percutaneous
  nephrolithotomy (Mini PCNL) are the two most
  common kidney stone surgeries.

• Following the identification of the stone or
  problem area, the surgeon uses laser energy to
  disintegrate the stone into smaller pieces, which
  can then be removed through the scope or
  naturally passed through the urine. With a
  shorter recovery period and a lower risk of
  complications, RIRS offers a safe and effective
  alternative to open kidney stone surgeries.
