Abstract: Lumbar foramina stenosis is one of the causes due to lumbar disc herniation occurs in 40% of the population in the United States with peak incidence at the age of the third and fourth decades which are in the productive ages. This disorder is the cause of the most common non-traumatic disability and disruption of activity and often has significant socioeconomic impacts. Extensive foraminotomy is an invasive procedure by expanding the intervertebral foramen to remove the foramina stenosis thus reducing the compression of the neural roots. The purpose of this study was to identify the correlation of extensive foraminotomy techniques on lumbar foramina stenosis to its improvement using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) and ODI (Oswestry Disabilty Index).
