Pakistan has reached an important medical milestone by successfully carrying out its first scar-free kidney stone surgery using a modern method called Non-Touch Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS).
The procedure was led by Dr. Shabbir Hussain Chaudhry, who used advanced flexible ureteroscopes and high-precision lasers to remove kidney stones. What makes this achievement special is that the surgery was done without direct contact between instruments and the kidney, and also without the need for general anesthesia, pre-stenting, or fluoroscopy.
This new technique is considered highly safe and gentle for patients. Because it is minimally invasive, it leaves no visible scars, causes less discomfort, and reduces the risk of complications. The doctors were able to clear the stones completely while ensuring the patient experienced a smooth and comfortable procedure.
Experts say this development is a major breakthrough for Pakistan’s urology field. It shows that the country is moving forward with the latest medical technologies and offering treatments that match international standards. The success of this surgery is expected to encourage more hospitals to adopt radiation-free and patient-friendly methods in the future.
