Spinal Cord Injury

Asked for Male, 74 Years

My grandfather fell from the roof and has got stitches on the back of his head. He has a spinal cord injury D11-D12. His lower body has become insensitive. He's under medical care in Bhopal and the doctor is suggesting surgery. We want more opinions and want to consult other doctors in Mumbai and Nagpur. Is a surgery necessary or can it be avoided?
