Due to compression of the foramen the nerves are under pressure and such a condition is relieved using a surgical procedure called the foraminotomy.

Laser spine surgeries like laminotomy are performed in patient to increase the space for a neural tissue that gives pressue to the spinal canal and spinal cord.

Conditions like pinched nerve, bone spurs, spinal stenosis, herniated disc, scar tissue formation and spinal arthritis are treated using laser spine surgeries like laminotomy.

Facet thermal ablation are also treated using laser spine surgeries.The facet joint is cleaned using laser in this facet thermal ablation. The affected nerve is removed using these laser spine surgeries.

Conditions like facet disease, facet arthritis, facet hypertrophy, facet joint syndrome, and degenerated facet joints are treated using laser spine surgeries like this.
