Surgery is not done for thickening for the nerve. I suggest you take a second opinion. would also like u to type out the exact MRI report

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Does your father have any leg weakness, pain, difficulty walking. If yes then he definitely requires surgery. Let him not lift any heavy weights and no bending forwards also. He should have good posture at work and do back exercises as recommended by his Orthopaedician. If there is only pain he can get physiotherapy and medication.
