We follow a "minimal intervention, maximum recovery" principle. Surgery is the last resort after conservative treatment has been given a fair trial — unless there is progressive neurological deficit or cauda equina syndrome (bladder/bowel involvement), which are surgical emergencies. When surgery is needed, we prefer the least invasive technique that safely achieves the goal.
