RIRS Laser Kidney Stone Surgery in Vijayawada
Expert laser operations (rirs) guidance by Dr. D. Sreedhar at Shreedhar Kidney Care Center, Vijayawada.
RIRS Laser Kidney Stone Surgery in Vijayawada is an important service for patients in Vijayawada who need reliable, medically responsible urology guidance. Retrograde intrarenal surgery, commonly called RIRS, is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure in which a flexible scope passes through the natural urinary passage to reach the kidney. A laser can fragment suitable stones without an external incision. At Shreedhar Kidney Care Center, patients can consult Dr. D. Sreedhar, MBBS, MS, M.Ch (Urology), FMAS (SGH Singapore), for evaluation and treatment planning based on symptoms, examination and test results rather than guesswork or repeated self-medication.
Treatment is recommended based on the size, location, and complexity of the kidney stone. While Laser Operations (RIRS) are suitable for many patients, some cases with larger or complex stones may require alternative procedures such as PCNL.
