Best STONE TREATMENT- RIRS - STONE ka The End - by Dr Raj Kumar Sharma

RIRS stands for Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat kidney stones, tumors, and other abnormalities within the kidney. How the Procedure is Performed: The surgery is performed without any external incisions. A urologist uses a thin, flexible tube called a ureteroscope, which has a camera at its tip. This scope is inserted through the body's natural urinary tract—specifically, through the urethra, into the bladder, and then up the ureter to the kidney. Once the ureteroscope reaches the stone, a laser fiber (usually a Holmium laser) is passed through it. The laser is used to break the kidney stone into tiny fragments or "dust," which can then be passed out of the body in the urine. In some cases, a small basket is used to retrieve larger fragments. Key Benefits: **Minimally Invasive: No cuts or stitches are required, leading to less pain and a faster recovery. High Success Rate: RIRS is highly effective, especially for stones up to 2 cm in size. Faster Recovery: Patients typically have a shorter hospital stay (often just one day) and can return to their normal activities within a few days to a week. Reduced Complications: Compared to traditional open surgery, RIRS has a lower risk of bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding organs. Versatility: The flexible ureteroscope allows the surgeon to access stones in various, hard-to-reach locations within the kidney. Potential Risks and Complications: While RIRS is considered very safe, as with any surgical procedure, there are some risks, including a small chance of bleeding, infection (urinary tract infection), or injury to the ureter.
