RIRS stands for Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used for the treatment of kidney stones. RIRS is typically performed by a urologist using a flexible ureteroscope, a thin tube-like instrument that can be inserted through the urinary tract to access the kidney.

Why perform a RIRS surgery?
RIRS uses a laser and a fiberoptic endoscope, a viewing tube that passes through the urethra and into the kidney to remove stones without making any incisions on the kidney. Under general, local, or spinal anaesthesia, it is carried out.
How does RIRS in stone work?
Endoscopic surgery known as RIRS enables the separation of the kidney from the ureter. These kinds of procedures involve the use of a flexible ureteroscope. The stones are treated using a laser fibre (a Holmium laser) through this apparatus. After that, a basket can be used to collect little fragments.
