RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) – Advanced Kidney Stone Removal
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure for removing kidney stones without any incisions. Using a thin, flexible ureteroscope passed through the urinary tract, the surgeon reaches the kidney and breaks the stones into fine fragments using a laser. This technique is ideal for stones located in hard-to-reach areas and for patients seeking a painless, scar-free recovery.
Dr Uday Bhaskar, a leading urologist in JP Nagar, Bangalore, has performed numerous successful RIRS procedures with exceptional stone clearance rates. His expertise ensures minimal discomfort, quick recovery, and low risk of recurrence.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and most patients can return home within 24 hours. Unlike open or keyhole surgeries, RIRS causes no visible scars and significantly reduces recovery time. Post-procedure, patients receive a personalized follow-up plan including diet advice and hydration tips to prevent new stone formation.
RIRS is especially recommended for patients with stones less than 2 cm in size, those with failed previous treatments, or individuals with complex anatomical conditions that make other surgical approaches challenging. With the use of advanced holmium laser technology, even hard stones can be effectively dusted into tiny particles that pass naturally through urine.
At our urology center, strict infection control protocols, high-definition imaging systems, and precision laser tools are used to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness. Dr Uday Bhaskar also provides detailed post-surgical lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes and hydration habits, to help prevent kidney stone recurrence and maintain long-term kidney health.
