Spinal Stenosis Foraminotomy

The spinal stenosis surgery known as a foraminotomy is a surgical procedure in which the foramen, an opening from the cervical spinal canal, is enlarged in order to alleviate pinching of a spinal root nerve. This enlargement is accomplished by removing some of the bone around the foramen. A foraminotomy is performed alongside a laminectomy.

Foraminotomy procedures may treat:

• Foraminal Stenosis
• Sciatica
• Herniated Disc
• Bulging Disc
• Pinched Nerve
• Bone Spurs
• Arthritis of the Spine
