Intestinal Surgery

I  need an answer to this question.. Can an intestinal surgery be used to fix a perforated bulging disc or is the bulging disc the cause of the need to do a intestinal surgery such removing a piece of the intestines because of the bulge pushing on the intestines making a blockage.

As pointed out, you are talking apples and oranges. A bulging disc is sometimes resolved by a medical procedure called a laminectomy. This procedure has nothing whatsoever to do with the intestines.

The intestines (either large or small) has nothing to do with your discs.
