Kidney stones are one of the most common urological problems affecting both men and women today. They can cause severe pain, nausea, and discomfort — and if left untreated, may lead to serious complications.
At VSH Superspeciality Hospital, our Urology Department offers the latest and most advanced treatment options, including RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) — a safe, minimally invasive, and highly effective procedure for removing kidney stones.
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is an advanced endoscopic technique used to treat stones located inside the kidney.
In this procedure, the surgeon uses a flexible ureteroscope that is passed through the urinary passage — from the urethra to the bladder and then into the kidney — to locate and remove or break down the stone using a Holmium laser.
There are no cuts, stitches, or external incisions, making it a preferred choice for many patients.
RIRS is generally advised for:
Stones located in the kidney or upper ureter
Smaller to medium-sized stones (usually less than 2 cm)
Patients for whom other procedures like PCNL may carry higher risks
Patients who wish to avoid open or keyhole surgery
No external cuts or scars
Minimal pain and faster recovery
Short hospital stay – most patients can go home within 24–48 hours
High success rate for stone clearance
Suitable even for patients with bleeding disorders or obesity
The patient is given anesthesia for comfort.
A thin, flexible ureteroscope is gently inserted through the natural urinary passage.
The surgeon locates the stone and breaks it into fine particles using a laser.
The fragments are either removed or pass naturally through urine.
A small ureteral stent may be placed temporarily to ensure smooth urine flow during healing.
Recovery after RIRS is usually quick.
Patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
Drink plenty of water to help flush out any remaining particles.
Follow-up visits help ensure complete recovery and stone clearance.
At VSH Superspeciality Hospital, our team of expert Urologists combines years of clinical experience with advanced technology to provide personalized care for every patient.
We use the latest laser and endoscopic systems to ensure precision, safety, and comfort during procedures like RIRS, PCNL, and URSL.
Our goal is simple — to help you live pain-free and prevent future kidney stone formation.
If you’ve been suffering from recurrent kidney stones or have been advised surgery, RIRS offers a gentle and effective alternative.
Talk to our Urology specialists today and find out if RIRS is right for you.

Thanks to Doctor Razor for the Great miraculous work he did in my life with his herbal remedy. I have been living with this human Papilloma virus and I have shared with my partners my situation because they deserve to have a choice of whether they want to change being with me or not. I unfortunately did not have a choice in this matter leaving me vulnerable and now faced with this HPVirus for the rest of my life or until a cure was discovered. I refused to take the Medical drugs my PCD had told me to take, I surrendered to my fate, because I was careless. On Feb 13 2017, I came across Doc Razor's website https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome. I browsed about the authenticity of This Doctor, I got to see several Testimonies regarding his works from people he had helped with his medicine. I reached out to him and told him my problems, after we spoke he promised to help me out. I started using his herbal medicine which he sent to me Via the Courier Delivery, and asked me to take the herbal medicine for 18 days. which i did. I am delighted to let you all know that I Got cured of HPV Virus, after the Medical Doctor had confirmed this with the test results, when I went for a medical check up after completing the Herbal Dosage Of 18 days. or Reach out to Doctor razor via email : [email protected] Telephone mobile Number +2349065420442
