Treatment for Cauda Equina Syndrome
Cauda Equina occurs when the nerve roots in the lumbar spine are compressed, cutting off sensation and movement. The nerve roots that control the function of the bladder and bowel are especial vulnerable to damage. Cauda equina syndrome is one of the only surgical emergencies in the spine and should be taken very seriously. Watch this video to learn more about the surgical treatment of cauda equina syndrome.

Good information 😊
Another great and informative video. Thank you.
Off topic.L3,4,5 recommended fusion. Read drs notes , patient does not want surgery. What happens if nothing done? More pain . Have appt w physiatrist, a friend saw him. … no pain, walking up the stairs, just walking longer distances.
Hi, Dr. Brian I want to thank you so much for explaining on your other KZread videos about when you need surgery! That really helps me understand things! Also, the other KZread video you did on cervical laminectomy and fusion. Wow, I never knew how much you need to know how to ask questions to help yourself make decisions about surgery and I never knew that surgeons don't go by your pain they go on what is going on in your physical, MRI, CT Scan, or X-ray!!! Thank you so much! Thank you I was wondering if you could answer a question what if you have done everything possible and then some injections, trigger point injections, abalations, pain pumps, SMS, and nothing worked to help your neck or lumber?

First! Thanks for the great info Dr Su!
My son swallowed a coin and is logged in the l4 and l5 area will he need surgery or it will come out on its own
If someone has their Thecal Sac herniated into the Laminectomy Defect, is that a severe or potentially dangerous situation?
Dr. Su, its me again. I posted my MRI photo as my profile picture for you to see it. Am i in danger situation? Without surgery, coz it cost me a lot here in philipines. I lost my job as well due to this current situation.😢

@@nanaykikay8017There is no way that a doctor is going to give medical advice to a patient that they haven’t seen, and certainly not from a profile picture on the internet. It doesn’t matter how many times you ask, they will NOT do it. It’s unethical and dangerous.

From MRI it seems almost 50% cord compression, however most doctors suggest surgery only if there is loss in muscle strength. Anyway consult a best doctor nearby. Hope you will do good with time.
