FAQ’S
What is retrograde intrarenal surgery?
A laser and a viewing tube called a fiberoptic endoscope that goes through the urethra into the kidney are used in retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) to remove stones without making any incisions on the kidney. The procedure may be done under general, local, or spinal anaesthesia.
Can RIRS be done under spinal anaesthesia?
Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is a minimally invasive stone removal procedure that can be performed under combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia (CSEA), though it is usually done under general anaesthesia (GA).
How is Retrograde Intrarenal surgery performed?
The scope is passed through the urethra, into the ureter, and eventually into the urine-collecting portion of the kidney to perform this operation. As a result, the scope is passed retrograde, or up the urinary tract system, to the kidney, or intrarenal. If the scope is in place, the doctor will see the stone and use an ultrasound probe to crush it, a laser probe to evaporate it, or even tiny forceps to grab it.
What is the RIRS Surgery surgeon responsible for?
This technique generally requires a urologist who is specialised in performing RIRS. The scope is passed through the urethra, into the ureter, and eventually into the urine-collecting portion of the kidney to perform this operation.
Is RIRS safe?
RIRS is an effective and safe procedure for treating kidney stones in patients that have had open surgery, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or retrograde intrarenal surgery in the past. For patients who have had retrograde intrarenal surgery, it has a similar efficiency and safety.
