General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Since you are a diagnosed case of left lower ureteric calculus, which is impacted in the junction of the ureter with the urinary bladder (Vesico-ureteric junction), you have to undergo a procedure to get the stone out of the system.
The back-pressure form the obstructed ureter by a stone has cause the back-pressure to develop the hydroureter and hydro-nephrosis, meaning dilatation of these structures.

The methods can be :
Ureteroscopy and hammering / extracting the stone
Open approach.
Putting a stent only to reduce the hydronephrosis and hydroureter so that the kidney on that side remains functioning. '

This all depends upon the availability of the expertise, availability of specific instruments.
Discuss with your Urologist and carry on his advise.
