Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy is an extremely rare disorder. I hope they have come to a correct diagnosis. If its correct then no surgery is required. It is managed medically and you can try various treatments as offered by your Physician. All the best. I would also advice you to take a second opinion on how the diagnosis was reached. Take care,
