At Medicana Bahcelievler Hospital, Foraminotomy is performed using precise spinal decompression techniques and individualized surgical planning. Established in 2004, the JCI accredited hospital in Istanbul, Turkey has 89 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.
