33-Year-Old Pune Man Successfully Undergoes Advanced Kidney Stone Removal at Manipal Hospital, Kharadi

Pune: A 33-year-old man from Pune, suffering from severe pain, difficulty in urination, and recurrent urinary tract infections, was diagnosed with bilateral kidney stones. He had a massive 5.1 cm stone in his left kidney and a 1.6 cm stone in his right kidney. Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) using Thulium Fiber Laser was used to treat the patient because of the size and complexity of the stones.

A minimally invasive endoscopic technique called retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is used to precisely break and remove kidney stones. A thin, flexible scope is introduced into the kidney through the natural orifice of urinary tract, where the stones are broken up into fine dust using a laser. A rapid recovery with shorter hospital stay and fewer consequences can be made possible by this cutting-edge method, which ensures total stone removal and protects the kidneys.
