Welcome to NT!
I just wanted to send you a

HUG

I hope you can find the right neurosurgeon for your husband. I'm sorry that he is faced with this.
Here is the Spinal Forum, it may be a good place to post this question
for starters.....

Perhaps there are others there who can give some good insight to help you.
I wish you and your husband the best!
