Thanks for query .

You have pain in left abdomen and detected to have enlarged left kidney due to PUJ obstruction on left side.

The treatment of PUJ obstruction is decided by the degre of obstruction and function of the affected kidney .

You need to consult qualified Urologist for clinical evaluation and get following basic tests to decide regards future course of action as regards need for surgery ..
1) Renal Function Tests
2) Intra Venous Pyelography (IVP)
3) DTPA scan .

Putting a D.J stent is a temporary solution and can not offer long term results 9Cure)
