Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) has become an important minimally invasive option for managing multiple renal and ureteric stones, especially in bilateral disease. Using flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy, RIRS allows precise stone fragmentation with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. It is particularly useful for stones that are difficult to access or unsuitable for shock wave lithotripsy. RIRS offers advantages such as reduced bleeding, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and the ability to treat stones in both kidneys in staged or single sessions. Overall, RIRS provides an effective and safe approach for managing multiple stones with high stone-clearance rates.
