Concerned Wife,
I would never allow a surgeon that has only done surgery on one Tarlov cyst in twenty years do surgery on the cyst. You need to speak to someone that has done many more of these surgeries. It is a new surgery and you may have to travel, but in the end it may be worth it. I saw many, many surgeons before I allowed surgery on my spine...and traveled to three states...When it comes to the spine, you cannot be too careful....
I published a list of surgeons that is recommended by the Tarlov ***. for doing surgery...Please look at that list of docs before allowing anyone to do surgery.
