Successful retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for a 2-centimeter stone in a chronic renal failure (CRF) patient. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction and importance Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is the best complementary method to Flexible Ureterorenoscopy (URF). In the case of renal insufficiency in patients with urolithiasis, the stone treatment strategy can be different because it should have the least injury ...

A Rare Case of Atypical Haemolytic Syndrome Following Right Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS). [PDF]
Renal failure, non-immune hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia are the hallmarks of the uncommon but potentially fatal complement system-related illness known as atypical hemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS). We describe the case of a 46-year-old woman who underwent right retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for a 1.5 cm urinary stone in the renal ...

Standardizing Suction Ureteral Access Sheath Technique in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS): Tips, Tricks & Troubleshooting. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction: Suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS, S-UAS) are reshaping retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) by improving stone-free rates and reducing complications compared to traditional UAS (1–5). Since their use requires significant technical adjustments with limited standardization, we present an instructional video detailing setup ...
