What do you think about the surgical intervention in the event of an eruption of the nucleus pulposus and significant protrusion of the vertebrae? I received conflicting opinions from two neurologists. I don't know what decision to make - it's not easy!

General indications for surgery:

  • pains not going to conservative treatment,
  • foot drop,
  • sphincter disorders,
  • paresis of both lower limbs.

Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
