Spinal Cord Surgery is required when there is damage to the spinal cord or when the spinal cord is compressed because of any trauma or herniated discs in the vertebrae. Myelopathy is a disorder that is caused by compression of the spinal cord. This can cause many complications for the person. The spinal cord is made up of nerves, that control many activities of the body. This is a disorder that proceeds gradually and can be treated by relieving the spinal cord of all the pressure that it is under.
