I assume you have been asked to undergo a discectomy . Decision for surgery depends on clinical examination correlated with the MRI findings. Does he have any numbness or weakness in the lower limbs ? Is his walking distance reduced ? And does he have any bowel bladder symptoms ? If the answer is no to the above questions, maybe surgery might not be needed. But then again your Orthopaedic Surgeon has assessed him clinically so he is the best judge.
