WILSON, J. The self-insurer appeals an administrative judge’s decision ordering that it pay for cervical surgery recommended by the employee’s treating physician, as well as ongoing weekly § 34 temporary total incapacity benefits. The self-insurer argues that the prima facie medical evidence neither causally relates all the underlying conditions for which surgery was authorized to the industrial accident, nor supports a finding of ongoing total incapacity. We agree and, therefore, vacate the decision and recommit the case for further findings based on the medical evidence.
