Retrograde IntraRenal Surgery (RIRS)
RIRS Surgery in Ghaziabad
Kidneys serve as the vital filtration units in the body, eliminating soluble body wastes from the blood. At times, these wastes can aggregate, forming kidney stones—solidified crystal pieces ranging from minuscule grains to golf ball-sized. Typically located in the Renal Pelvis, Ureter, or Bladder, kidney stones necessitate intervention.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a minimally invasive procedure occurring inside the kidney without external incisions. Utilizing a Fiberoptic Endoscope, the Urologist inserts the scope through the Urethra into the Urinary Bladder, navigating it into the Kidney's urine-collecting part. The Endoscope moves retrograde through the Urinary Tract System and internally within the Kidney. Upon stone identification, the doctors employ methods like ultrasound crushing, laser evaporation, or forceps extraction depending on the patient's need.
Performed by an Endourologist with specialized RIRS training, the procedure's advantages include minimal invasiveness, simplicity, reduced morbidity, faster problem relief, absence of prolonged post-surgery pain, minimal bleeding, harmlessness to renal tissue, faster recovery, and no scarring.
Why is it done?
Beyond alleviating common symptoms like pain, RIRS is crucial for addressing Nausea, Vomiting, Fever, Chills, Blood in the Urine, and Flank Pain. It proves life-saving for conditions such as Large Kidney Stones, Kidney Tumors, Stones in Pediatric Patients, Severe Obesity, Bleeding Disorders, and Kidney Strictures

Risks
While RIRS is generally safe, potential complications may include Fever, Flank Pain, Urinary Infection, Transient Hematuria, Acute Urinary Retention, Sepsis, Bleeding, Fornix Rupture, and Ureter Avulsion.
Preparation
Patients receive general or local anesthesia, with pre-procedure tests including Blood Tests, X-Rays KUB (Kidney Ureter Bladder), and a preoperative fitness evaluation from an Anaesthesiologist.
Expectations
The flexible Fiberoptic Endoscope aids clear visualization within the Kidney. The Urologist inserts the scope into the Ureter, passing a laser fiber to break down stones into fine particles. The stones exit the system through urine or saline irrigation. A DJ stent may be placed for quicker recovery, accompanied by a Urinary Catheter for pain relief during urination. The surgery lasts 45 to 60 minutes.
After The Procedure
Patients stay in the recovery room until the anesthesia wears off, then can go home the next day. The Urinary Catheter is removed before discharge. Adequate fluid intake is essential to prevent infection, and a follow-up appointment is scheduled after a few days. Normal activities can resume from the day after surgery.
