Lenmed Ethekwini Hospital and Heart Centre offers dedicated Foraminotomy supported by experienced spine surgeons, advanced imaging, and modern minimally invasive and open spinal surgery facilities. Established in 2002, the accredited hospital is situated in Durban, South Africa and has 353 beds supporting specialized spinal care.

Foraminotomy is designed to increase the space available for a spinal nerve as it exits the spinal canal. The procedure involves removing a limited amount of bone, ligament, or other tissue responsible for narrowing the foramen. It may be performed alone or together with other spinal procedures when additional compression or instability is present. The surgical technique depends on the affected spinal level, severity of narrowing, and patient's overall spinal anatomy.
