T7-T8 Foraminotomy

Does anyone know anything about this? I have several disc problems in my thoracic spine with T7-8 being one of the more problematic. I have had severe pain radiating from my back around my right side for several years. I have even had my gallbladder removed in hopes of ending the pain (not knowing it was a back problem). My neuro now thinks it's the T7-8 and wants to do a foraminotomy. I can't find anything about this procedure being done on the thoracic. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
