Certificate Course in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)


Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) performed using a flexible ureteroscope marked the beginning of a new era in urology. RIRS renders smaller kidney stones more accessible and upper urinary tract tumors treatable, using minimally invasive methods.
In this two day course, training on simulators will be conducted to help trainees get a grasp of the equipment used in upper tract such as Flexible Ureteroscopes.
Basic and advanced skills for handling these instruments will be imparted during sessions in the laboratory. Live demonstrations of Endourological procedures conducted in Operation Theatres will supplement the instructional courses and give the delegate a complete understanding of operative procedures.
