For small kidney stones measuring less than 6mm, medications are typically prescribed to facilitate their passage through urine. These medications often include painkillers and antibiotics. Their purpose is to prevent further stone development and regulate the urine’s alkali or acid levels. Additionally, patients are advised to increase their water intake significantly.

However, if the pain persists for more than 2 weeks, accompanied by other symptoms, surgical intervention may be necessary.

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) utilizes a fiberoptic endoscope to conduct the procedure. During RIRS, the endoscope is inserted into the kidneys through the urethra to remove the stone. The stone is visualized through the scope and extracted using ultrasound, laser technology, or small forceps. Notably, this surgical method results in no visible scarring on the body. RIRS is exclusively performed by specialized Kidney Stone Doctors in Nagpur.
