ECIRS (Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery) is an advanced kidney stone treatment that combines two minimally invasive procedures—RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) and PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)—to achieve maximum stone clearance in a single session. This technique allows the surgeon to access the kidney through both the natural urinary tract and a small opening in the back, making it highly effective for large, complex, or multiple kidney stones.
ECIRS is considered one of the most innovative approaches in modern urology, offering improved visibility, precise stone removal, and higher success rates compared to conventional stone treatment methods. It is especially beneficial for patients with large stone burdens, staghorn calculi, or recurrent kidney stones.
ECIRS combines the advantages of both RIRS and PCNL, allowing comprehensive treatment of complex kidney stones with greater precision and efficiency. By providing dual access to the kidney, this advanced procedure improves stone clearance while minimizing complications and reducing the need for repeat surgeries. Patients benefit from effective treatment, faster recovery, and long-term relief from kidney stone disease. ECIRS is particularly beneficial for patients with large, multiple, or complex kidney stones that may be difficult to treat with a single approach. The procedure is designed to minimize surgical trauma while maximizing treatment effectiveness.
