RIRS Laser Technology: How Kidney Stones are Removed Without Any Body Cut
By Dr. Sunil Mehta (Director - Urology & Kidney Stone Institute)•July 10, 2026•5 min read
### Understanding Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) has replaced traditional open kidney surgeries. Using a flexible endoscopic camera fine as a thread, the urologist navigates through the urethra and bladder up into the kidney.
### The Power of 100W Holmium Laser Dusting
Once the stone is pinpointed, high-frequency laser pulses pulverize the stone into fine sand dust. The dust passes naturally with urine without causing pain or urinary obstruction.
### Why Choose RIRS at Yupiter Hospital?
- **Zero Cut / Zero Stitch**: Done entirely through natural urine passages.
