Hi Alex,
Yes as you said I think a neurosurgeon would be the one to go to for this procedure as they are more specialised where the nerves are concerned. I am in Australia, so I cant put you on to anyone where you live, but there should be some kind of surgical or spine society that you might be able to contact to get some names or a referral from. Good Luck , Michelle.

All the surgeons I asked this questions said that such surgery results in even more scar tissue growing back...

I have heard exactly the same, it results in more scar tissue, so they don't do it ( at least not in my parts of the world; scandinavia)

I wonder if it acts the same as abdominal adhesions, scar tissue from previous surgeries? There is a surgeon in Germany who specializes in eliminating these, and maybe he would be able to address those in the spine as well.
I know that the abdominal ones cause great grief with me, and the pain even breaks through the narcotics I take for my back pain. Yet no doctor here will operate as they insist they just come back. I'm ready to try the one over there instead.
