To prevent the recurrence of kidney stones after successful RIRS surgery, focus on hydration, dietary changes, and medication as recommended by your doctor. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, aim for 3 liters (5.2 pints) or more, to help flush out minerals. Limit animal protein, sodium, and sugary drinks. Medications like alpha blockers (like tamsulosin) or potassium citrate may also be prescribed to prevent stone formation
