Stents Placed For Hydro Ureter And Hydro Nephrosis. What Are The Other Available Treatments?

Hi Doctor, I 'am Rini Sam ,residing in Pune.While undergoing diagnosis for fibroid in uterus,I came to know that I am suffering from hydro ureter and hydro nephrosis.While doing further investigations thru DTPA it showiness the working condition of the left kidney to be only 6 %.I was operated for hysterectomy and along with it a stent was placed for three months in the left ureter.Doctor noticed a tight stricture in the ureter..In the month of July DTPA showed the working of kidney @ 10% and further the stent was replaced with another stent for again three months.I went for the DTPA again last week and the kidney function was 9.13%.Now while consulting many doctors here in Pune,they are of the opinion to either place a stent again ,(which is not viable )or go for a surgery to remove the kidney or for removing the stricture. Doctor please suggest be as to wat to do? Is there any treatment for this ? If yes wat and where. awaiting your reply @ the earliest Sir. Thanks & Regards RINI SAM. 0000 ,Pune.

Thank for asking to HCM
I have red the history given here, stenting the ureter and then replacing it with new one, it is not advisable on and often, the better way i my opinion to remove the stricture is the best way, and this will give very good result and worth trying and do not think about the removing of kidney, you will be fine soon have nice day.
