At Aster DM Healthcare, Foraminotomy is performed using precise spinal decompression techniques and individualized surgical planning. Established in 1987, the JCI, NABH, NABL accredited hospital in Dubai, United Arab Emirates has 114 beds and provides comprehensive spine surgery and rehabilitation services.

Foraminotomy may be recommended for patients with nerve compression caused by narrowing of the neural foramen, particularly when symptoms such as radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness persist despite conservative treatment. The surgeon carefully removes part of the bone or other structures narrowing the foramen to relieve pressure on the affected nerve root. Preoperative MRI or CT imaging helps identify the compressed nerve and determine the appropriate surgical level and approach.
