What you will cover in this lecture

Transforaminal endoscopy is a good surgical option for many disc pathologies, But in many situations the anatomy of the foramen can limit transforaminal access.

Foraminoplasty is a procedure which provides transforaminal accessibility in spine endoscopic surgery. This procedure needs a thorough knowledge of anatomy, together with surgical experience, due to the risk of nerve root injury.  

In this lecture, foraminal widening, necessity, surgical technique and other details are presented.
