I've been having pain around my left lower back and was diagnosed with PUJ obstruction. The doctor suggested surgery, and I'm considering laparoscopic robotic surgery to minimize scarring. Can you tell me if this surgery is a good option for my condition and what I should expect?

I'm a bit concerned because a few days ago, I noticed some mild pain in my right testicle and now it's swollen. I've been taking painkillers, which helped a bit, but I've found a lump in my spermatic cord. Is this something I should be worried about? Should I see a urologist for this, or would a general surgeon be better?
