Hydronephrosis on left kidney
My baby is 47 days old, had diagnosed with left kidney PUJ blockage due to which hydronephrosis problem and has lower perfusion of 32% at present. When the baby was 25 days old the EC scan shown result of 29% perfusion.
Concerned Paediatric urologist suggesting to undergo pyloplasty with DJ Stent for 6 weeks.
Please suggest should if we wait for few more days for the puj blockage to clear by itself with the growing baby. Or we should undergo operation to safeguard his left kidney.
What are the chances that he will not incur the blockage even after the operation later.
Thanks in advance.

Kindly get him operated as early as possible. Chances of the PUJ blockage resolving by itself is low. If you wait for long time his kidney might suffer more. Also post operatively the blockage usually doesn't reappear. So don't worry as follow the advise of your Pediatric Urologist.
