Types of Microforaminotomy

There are two types of microforaminotomy, called

  • Posterior Cervical Microforaminotomy
  • Anterior Cervical Microforaminotomy

Selection of either procedure is determined by the surgeon, based on safety and effectiveness.

Posterior Cervical Microforaminotomy Procedure

This surgical procedure is performed at the back part of the neck. So, the patient is faced down over the table for operation. An incision is to be made over the back portion of the neck. It then exposes the bumps or bony roof, towards the same direction of the spine, present in the neck area. Small surgical instruments are then moved inside the incision to move the soft tissues and bones gently to its sides. Then the herniated disc space or pinched nerve is exposed.

The bone portions are scraped gently along the vertebrae at the location of the pinched nerve. Shave or scrap is also done at the upper and lower portions of the compressed nerve root. After the shaving process, the movement, freedom and function of the nerve are verified, by inserting other smaller instruments inside the incision. If the same portion of the affected disc continues to swell or bulge against the root of the nerve, the herniated or bulging portion of the disc is then removed. The surgeon waits for some time to watch and ensure that the nerve root is back to its normal position. After it comes to the normal position, the incision will then be closed.

Anterior Cervical Microforaminotomy Procedure

Anterior cervical microforaminotomy procedure is quite similar to the posterior cervical microforaminotomy procedure, with the difference that the access of the spinal column present near the neck area is done through the front part of the neck. In this procedure, the patient has to be placed on the back on the operating table.

      I came to see the doctor in WHE and he introduced me to the stem cell treatment. They took the stem cells from my bone marrow and fat and he injected them and it has been fabulous. I don’t have the aches and pains that I used to suffer from on a constant day to day basis. I would highly recommend it to anybody who’s looking for a remedy to their back pain and their aching joints.
