Does myelopathy have to undergo surgery?

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy should be operated as soon as possible in theory, because cervical spondylotic myelopathy is a clinical symptom caused by spinal cord compression. Spinal cord is a central nerve, once compressed, functional damage is basically irreversible. Therefore, early release of compression can be recovered as soon as possible. Early surgery is because if symptoms occur, the risk of surgery will increase. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy be operated as soon as possible, so that the risk of surgery can be reduced, the surgical effect is better, and the patient's recovery prognosis is good.
