Endoscopic Foraminotomy

Foraminotomy is a neurosurgical procedure designed to widen the intervertebral foramen, alleviating pressure on nerve branches from the spine. Endoscopic foraminotomy employs true minimally-invasive techniques to perform this procedure. Dr. Sina Rajamand specializes in using these advanced methods to execute intricate spinal surgeries at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery in Reno, NV.

Endoscopic foraminotomy can relieve pressure on spinal nerve branches, which may cause symptoms such as pain, inflammation, tingling, weakness in the extremities, or loss of bodily functions. Dr. Rajamand may recommend this procedure for conditions including:

Spondylosis
Degenerative disc disease
Spondylolisthesis
Cysts or tumors
Skeletal conditions
Congenital conditions

Reno Cervical/Lumbar Foraminotomy Treatment

In spinal stenosis repair surgery, Dr. Rajamand widens the intervertebral foramen to alleviate pressure on nearby nerve branches. This procedure can be performed on any area of the spine—cervical, thoracic, or lumbar—though it is most commonly needed in the cervical or lumbar regions. The surgery may also involve removing bony spurs, spinal disc protrusions, or portions of the surrounding bone.

Dr. Rajamand excels in utilizing true minimally-invasive neurosurgical techniques for these procedures. By employing an endoscope—a surgical tool equipped with a camera—he performs intricate surgeries through smaller incisions, which heal faster and cause less disruption to adjacent tissues. This allows for precise movements and enhanced surgical outcomes.
