Can Spinal Cord Tuberculosis Be Treated With Surgery Successfully?

Hi, My father is diagnosed with spinal cord Tuberculosis. He is 64 years old. He has swelling around his west and both the legs. He is paralyzed below his west. Orthopedic doctor who diagnosed the disease has started the treatment from last one month. My questions are as follows: Only taking antibiotics will help or can he be operated upon to speed up the cure? Can this disease be cured completely? Will he be able to walk again?
