Today, kidney stone treatment has become far more advanced than it was a few decades ago. Most patients no longer require open surgery. Modern minimally invasive procedures, such as RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery), ureteroscopy (URS), and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), allow kidney stones to be treated safely with less pain, quicker recovery and excellent success rates.
At R P Stone Clinic, Panipat, Dr. Pawan K. Gupta provides personalized kidney stone treatment based on the size, number, & location, along with the patient’s overall health, to achieve the best possible result while preserving kidney function.
If you are looking for kidney stone treatment, RIRS surgery or treatment for complex kidney stones, R P Stone Clinic in Panipat provides complete evaluation and advanced treatment using modern endourological techniques.
Kidney stones are hard deposits formed from minerals and salts that crystallize within the kidneys. They may remain inside the kidney or move into the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder), where they can obstruct the flow of urine and cause severe pain.
Kidney stones vary considerably in:
These factors play an important role in deciding the most suitable treatment.
Not every kidney stone requires immediate surgery. However, delaying treatment when it is needed can lead to serious complications, including:
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help relieve symptoms, prevent complications and preserve normal kidney function.
At R P Stone Clinic in Panipat, Dr. Pawan K. Gupta offers advanced, evidence-based treatment for kidney stones using the latest minimally invasive techniques, including Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS). The clinic has earned the trust of patients from Delhi, NCR, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Sri Ganga Nagar, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Pathankot, Himachal Pardesh, Kaithal, Karnal, Rohtak and many other parts of India. Patients have also travelled from Iran for specialized kidney stone treatment.
Dr. Pawan K. Gupta played a pioneering role in transforming the treatment of urinary tract and kidney stones in Haryana. He introduced several advanced endourological procedures, including Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL/ESWL), Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and Ureterorenoscopy (URS) with Holmium:YAG Laser Lithotripsy, making modern, minimally invasive kidney stone treatment available to patients in the region.
The surgical treatment of kidney stones has changed dramatically over the last three decades. Earlier, open kidney stone surgery was the standard treatment for most patients. However, with the development of advanced minimally invasive techniques, the need for open surgery has become extremely rare.
The introduction of Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL/ESWL) and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the 1980s significantly reduced the need for open kidney stone surgery to 1 to 2%. Today, only a very small percentage of patients require open surgery. Likewise, open surgery for ureteric stones has almost completely been replaced by ureteroscopy (URS) using modern endoscopic instruments.
More recently, the development of Flexible Ureteroscopy and Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) has further revolutionized kidney stone treatment by allowing stones to be removed through the body’s natural urinary passage without any external incision or artificial hole.
ESWL has a definite but limited role in the treatment of Kidney stones today.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a widely performed keyhole surgery for removing large or complex kidney stones. The procedure involves creating a small tract through the skin into the kidney to remove the stones.
Today, Flexible Ureteroscopy, also known as Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS), is considered one of the most advanced and preferred treatment options for many kidney stones.
RIRS is performed through the natural urinary passage, eliminating the need for any external incision or artificial hole. Using a flexible digital ureteroscope and a Holmium laser/ TFL, the surgeon can clearly see the kidney stone, break it into small pieces, and remove these small pieces on the operation table or leave them for spontaneous passage later.
Because of its minimally invasive nature, RIRS is associated with:
Although RIRS surgery requires highly specialized equipment, expensive disposable instruments and considerable surgical expertise, it has become one of the preferred treatment options for many patients because of its safety, precision and faster recovery.
Today, RIRS surgery in Panipat is routinely performed by Dr. Pawan K. Gupta, India’s pioneers in flexible ureteroscopy and RIRS, providing patients with advanced, minimally invasive kidney stone treatment using modern endourological technology.

What is the best treatment for kidney stones?
The best treatment for kidney stones depends on the size, number, and location as well as overall health of patients. Today, RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is considered one of the most advanced and preferred treatment options for many kidney stones because it is performed through the natural urinary passage without any external incision or artificial hole. It is associated with minimal bleeding, less pain, faster recovery and excellent stone clearance in appropriately selected patients. However, some patients may be better suited for other treatments such as URS or PCNL. After carefully evaluating the patient’s condition, Dr. Pawan K. Gupta will recommend the most appropriate treatment for you.
Is RIRS better than PCNL for kidney stones?
Both procedures are effective, but they are used in different situations. RIRS is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the natural urinary passage without any external incision or artificial hole. It generally involves less pain, minimal bleeding and a faster recovery. PCNL remains an excellent option for selected patients with very large or complex kidney stones.
