Lumber spine
Leg is numb because of lumber spine. Bowel impairments too. Surgery is recommended. I need to know what is the success rate of surgery and are there any side effects?

I think that rather focusing on success rate you should focus on getting this surgery done as soon as possible because lingering it on will make it worse only . I’ve done such case but it took 8-9 months for the patient to get her sensations back but it’s not guaranteed. Anyways plz get this done and don’t focus on success rate . You can think about the risk of not getting it done now.

Success of the surgery totally depends on the surgeon,you are getting operated to. And if there is neurological involvement,like in your case then you have no other option other than surgery
