My wife who is 59 years old has undergone laminectomy in 2004 { l4/l5}. Now she has been diagnosed with disc compression due to degeneration of vertebrae at l4/l5. Is it advisable to go for surgery again.

If the complaints are so severe as to undergo a surgery and the patient has been evaluated by a spine surgeon and he agrees that the surgery would help in resolving the symptoms, then it is obviously worth considering a surgery.
