Endoscopic Spine Surgeon for New Hampshire Residents

Endoscopic spine surgery is a highly precise, minimally invasive spine procedure that uses a miniature camera called an endoscope plus narrow instruments passed through an incision about the width of a pencil. ESINY is currently the only endoscopic spine institute in the country dedicated solely to this technique.

This technique provides a highly focused way to relieve spinal pain while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Because it zeroes in on the exact source of the issue, it usually brings a lower chance of complications, fewer uncomfortable side effects, and a faster return to daily activities than more invasive surgery or repeated injections. Many patients are able to go home comfortably on the same day as their procedure.

Standard spine procedures typically require broad exposure of the spine, which means bigger incisions, cutting or retracting muscles, and sometimes significant bone removal. This approach often leads to greater postoperative soreness, the need for hardware, and extended recovery times in the hospital and at home. Endoscopic spine surgery uses a tiny skin opening to reach the problem area, preserves most muscles, and provides a path to quicker healing and discharge within hours.

If you have had injections for spinal pain, you already value treatment options that are not as demanding on the body as traditional surgery. Endoscopic spine surgery keeps that same minimally invasive mindset but goes a step further by working directly on the structures that generate pain instead of only calming them temporarily.

Many patients visit our clinic when their injections stop offering meaningful or lasting relief. For them, endoscopic spine surgery becomes a logical next step, providing a precise, gentle approach that combines the low impact feel of an injection with the possibility of more permanent change, improved flexibility, and a smoother return to regular daily life.

Yes, our program has been built around proven techniques and careful patient selection to maximize safety. Because endoscopic surgery is less invasive than traditional methods, it often leads to fewer complications, shorter recovery times, and less disruption to your daily life.

Often, endoscopic procedures can be performed using local anesthesia and sedation, which many patients find easier to recover from. If general anesthesia is needed for safety or comfort, your surgeon and anesthesiologist will discuss this clearly before surgery.

Patients are typically able to walk out of the clinic on the same day and start light activities almost immediately. For patients suffering from leg or arm pain, relief can be felt right after the procedure. Overall, recovery tends to be much faster compared to traditional spine surgeries.

Endoscopic techniques treat a range of spine conditions, including herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and certain chronic back pains. By using a small endoscope, the procedure is minimally invasive, leading to more effective management of various spine-related issues.

Most patients experience very little pain after the procedure, significantly less than what is common with traditional spine surgery. Many only need mild pain relief or over-the-counter options, and stronger medications are rarely required.

The incision is usually smaller than 1 cm, about the size of a pencil eraser. Healing is usually fast, and the scar is often not visible at all. The incision is sealed using medical glue and covered with a custom ESINY bandage to help promote optimal healing.

While endoscopic spine surgery is advancing rapidly around the world, only a select number of surgeons have had the thorough training necessary to execute it with precision. Expertise in this technique requires not only education but also years of practice and a high number of cases. The procedure itself demands advanced equipment and specialized skills, which is why only a few surgeons can perform it effectively. At ESINY, we stand as the only dedicated endoscopic spine institute in the U.S., with four internationally trained specialists leading the charge. Our focused expertise and high case volume make us the premier destination for endoscopic spine care in the country.
