Kidney stones larger than 10-15mm located deep inside the renal calyces are difficult to pass naturally and can cause severe colic pain and kidney damage. Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a cutting-edge urological procedure using a flexible ureteroscope and Holmium laser fibers to dust stones into sand-like particles without any skin incisions.
Key Advantages of RIRS
- Completely Scarless: Performed through the natural urinary passage.
- Ideal for Multiple Stones: Flexible scope reaches all kidney chambers.
- Same-Day Discharge: Most patients return home in 24 hours.
Cost Comparison: RIRS (USD)
| Country | Average Cost (USD) | Scope Tech |
|---|---|---|
| India (Delhi-NCR) | $2,400 – $3,200 | Flexible Digital + Laser |
| United Kingdom (UK) | $8,500 – $10,500 | Standard Laser |
