Most doctors will tell you that the best kind of surgery is the one you can avoid. This is especially true for back surgery since recuperation often takes months -and- usually involves heavy doses of pain medications. What's even worse is that back surgery has a very poor success rate. In fact, there's even a term for this lack of success: failed back surgery syndrome!
