@pablo81 The question of being a candidate for any surgery and success statistics can only be answered by a surgeon trained in the procedures. There would probably be an MRI to determine where there are problems causing stenosis. The MILD procedure seems to only address issues with the ligament thickening in the back of the spine and it is a set of tools in a kit that gets assembled in order to trim the ligament. Stenosis can also be caused by ruptured discs or bone spurs in the spinal canal or outside of it in the foramen where the nerve roots are. When a disc spills the jelly like nucleus to the outside, that causes a lot of inflammation and generates bone spur growth. That is what happened to me, and it caused spinal cord compression in the central canal. It's important for the surgeon to define all the areas that could be contributing to a spine condition before deciding on appropriate treatment.

Have you been examined by a spine specialist? Are you looking for a second opinion? The manufacturer's website does have a search for surgeons who use this MILD procedure. If you do have spine issues other than the ligament thickening, that would not be treated by the MILD procedure.
