Whether to operate or not depends on the severity of your symptoms. If it is serious, you can operate. The first surgical plan is to relieve the nerve compression, and the second is to relieve the compression. If the position of the intervertebral disc is empty or a large number of bony structures are removed, stents are needed to stabilize it, otherwise stents are not needed. The cost of the stent is about 30 thousand. Not fixed, there is a certain chance of recurrence. But not everyone will relapse.
