RIRS is mostly done for up to 15 mm size stones in kidneys, however we at Urolife Hospital in Delhi practice RIRS upto 18 mm size.

There is no cut involved as all the procedure takes place through natural urinary passage and hence no cuts or stitches are needed.

The patient can be discharges even on the same day if all vitals and urine flow is clear. It is also common to find that few particles up to 4 to 6 mm are left after the procedure due to their position in kidney or impaction.
