Welcome to health care magic.

1. Cauda equine will be seen ending at the level of the L1 vertebrae in most of the cases in your case its not mentioned and unclear in means of incomplete.
2.There is disc prolapse at the level of L5-S1 which was operated as you have mentioned.
3.If you are asking why it happens - the disc when hydration is lost as a degenerative changes.
4.This can be due to trauma, age related, weight bearing hard working individuals.
5.If you do not want to get repeated - avoid weight bearing and abrupt jerks and back exercises to keep healthy spine.

Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
