Foraminoplasty

Surgical Procedure

Foraminoplasty is a type of endoscopic surgery used to operate on the spine, classified as a minimally invasive spine surgery technique. It has shown beneficial outcomes for most patients who undergo it, though the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has withheld full endorsement, citing insufficient evidence because the procedure had not completed a randomised controlled clinical trial.
