RIRS — Flexible Ureteroscopy for Kidney Stones
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) uses a flexible digital ureteroscope — a thin, bendable camera that can navigate through the entire kidney collecting system — to access and treat kidney stones through the natural urinary passage (urethra) with absolutely no incisions. This makes RIRS the most cosmetically superior kidney stone treatment, ideal for patients wanting no back puncture (as required in PCNL).
RIRS with holmium laser at Chahal Hospital, Bathinda is particularly suitable for: kidney stones 1-2 cm in size, multiple small kidney stones in various locations within the kidney, stones in horseshoe kidneys or other anatomical variants, and patients who prefer no back puncture. Dr. Ajay Chahal selects the best procedure (PCNL, URSL, or RIRS) based on stone size, location, density, and patient preferences.

FAQ — RIRS Surgery
RIRS uses a flexible scope through the urethra — no back puncture, no incision — for stones up to ~2 cm. PCNL uses a back puncture to directly access large (>2 cm) stones. RIRS is less invasive but may have lower stone-clearance rates for very large stones. Dr. Ajay Chahal recommends the appropriate procedure based on your stone's size, location, and your preference.
RIRS is best suited for kidney stones 1-2 cm in size, multiple small stones, and lower pole or anatomically difficult stones. For very large stones (>2 cm) or staghorn stones, PCNL provides higher stone-free rates. Dr. Ajay Chahal at Chahal Hospital will assess your stone's CT scan and recommend the most effective procedure.
Most patients return to desk work within 2-3 days after RIRS at Chahal Hospital. The DJ stent (placed after RIRS) causes some bladder irritation and frequency until it is removed at 4-6 weeks — a simple outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia at Chahal Hospital.
