I have a 30 y/o physician colleague with Right side L5, and S1 radiculopathy. He has had 2 level microdiscectomy in the past -- L4-5-S1, approx 5 years ago. he still has foraminal stenosis, but also has central canal stenosis.
the symptoms have recently returned. although they have a fluctuating grade in severity.
He is looking for the most conservative treatment. He is NOT looking for lami with fusion and hardware.
Can someone comment on the outcomes for foraminotomy? is it common for these to be performed at multiple levels?
would appreciate any help. Thank you
