RIRS for kidney stones RIRS stands for Retrograde Intra-Renal Surgery, which is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove kidney stones from the urinary system. It involves the use of a small scope (called a ureteroscope) that is passed through the urethra and into the bladder and ureter to reach the kidney where the stone is located. Once the scope reaches the stone, a laser is used to break the stone into small fragments, which are then removed through the scope or passed out of the body through urine. RIRS is considered a safe and effective treatment option for kidney stones, especially for stones that are too large to pass on their own, located in a difficult to reach location, or are resistant to other treatments like medication or shock wave lithotripsy. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires a short hospital stay. Recovery time after RIRS is usually quick, and patients can usually return to their normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure.
