Retrograde intrarenal surgery
Best RIRS in Agra
As the name implies, RIRS, or retrograde intrarenal surgery, involves removing kidney stones by entering the kidney from the ureter in the opposite direction—that is, retrogradely. During this minimally invasive technique, kidney stones are removed using a fiberoptic endoscope, which is a sort of viewing tube and holmium laser. The fiber-optic cable’s flexibility allows it to bend smoothly inside the renal system and enter the kidney and ureter with ease.

RIRS
RIRS is performed to remove stones without making any incisions on the kidney while using a laser and a viewing tube called a fiberoptic endoscope that goes through the urethra into the kidney. It is performed under general, local or spinal anesthesia.
This procedure requires a specialized urologist who is specifically trained in RIRS.
