first would need conformation on CT UROGRAPHY and if same size then , less than 2 cm stones are not advisable for pcnl in guidelines , rirs or/ stenting followed by Eswl depending upon HU unit is better choice since you have hydronephrosis stent first then decide. Pcnl can be done if facilties for Rirs is not there

Needs CT urography to comment upon.
It's all about technology.
