Foraminoplasty

Foraminoplasty is a type of endoscopic surgery used to operate on the spine. It is considered a minimally invasive surgery technique and its endoscopic laser is legally regulated. Although most patients have benefited from foraminoplasty, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence does not fully support it due to it not completing its randomised controlled clinical trial. Quote: "What the studies said There have not been many studies on endoscopic laser foraminoplasty, but in general patients said they had less pain after having the procedure. What the experts said The experts thought there was not enough evidence to be sure the procedure worked."
