With a focus on patient trust and satisfaction, we invite you to explore how RIRS can benefit you.

Why Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is Necessary

RIRS is a vital procedure for patients suffering from kidney stones that are too large to pass naturally or are causing significant pain and complications. This surgery allows for the direct removal of stones from the kidney using a flexible ureteroscope, which is inserted through the urinary tract. The benefits of RIRS include reduced recovery time, minimal scarring, and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery. By addressing kidney stones promptly, RIRS can prevent further damage to the kidneys and improve overall urinary health.

Risks of Delay

Delaying treatment for kidney stones can lead to serious complications, including recurrent urinary tract infections, kidney damage, and chronic pain. As stones grow larger, they can obstruct the urinary tract, leading to hydronephrosis, a condition where the kidney swells due to urine buildup. This can result in permanent kidney damage if not treated promptly. At Apollo Hospitals Nellore, we emphasize the importance of timely intervention through RIRS to avoid these risks and ensure optimal kidney function.

Benefits

Undergoing Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) offers numerous benefits for patients. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring a pain-free experience. Patients typically experience less postoperative pain and a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional surgical methods. Additionally, RIRS allows for the precise removal of stones, reducing the likelihood of stone recurrence. Many patients return to their normal activities within a few days, enjoying a better quality of life free from the discomfort of kidney stones.

Preparation and Recovery

Preparing for RIRS involves several important steps to ensure a smooth surgical experience. Patients should:

  1. Consult with a Specialist: Schedule a consultation with our expert urologists at Apollo Hospitals Nellore to discuss your condition and the RIRS procedure.
  2. Follow Preoperative Instructions: Adhere to any dietary restrictions or medication adjustments recommended by your doctor.
  3. Arrange for Postoperative Care: Plan for someone to assist you at home after the surgery, as you may experience some grogginess from anesthesia.

Recovery from RIRS is generally quick. Patients are encouraged to:

  • Stay hydrated to help flush out any remaining stone fragments.
  • Follow a balanced diet to promote healing.
  • Attend follow-up appointments to monitor kidney health and ensure no complications arise.
