Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is RIRS kidney stone surgery?

Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) uses a thin flexible scope passed through the urethra into the kidney. A laser fiber then crushes the stones into dust.

Q Do I need a temporary kidney stent?

Yes, a small JJ stent is often placed in the ureter for 1-2 weeks to ensure urine flows freely and swelling goes down safely.
