The Safest Spine Surgery in the World
Minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery offers an unprecedented combination of safety, speed, and effectiveness. Infection rates are extremely low, and blood loss is drastically reduced, allowing patients to recover more quickly and return to their daily lives sooner than traditional spine surgery would permit.
95% Walk Out the Same Day—with Less Pain
Patients can often leave the hospital the very day of surgery. Light activity resumes immediately, and most experience less discomfort during the recovery process than is typical with conventional procedures.
Say Goodbye To General Anesthesia
Many endoscopic surgeries avoid general anesthesia, relying instead on local anesthesia with minimal sedation. This approach keeps patients conscious and comfortable while maintaining safety and control during the procedure.

Truly Grateful!
I’m truly grateful to Dr. Shen for the incredible care he provided during my spine surgery. He performed an endoscopic, super minimally invasive procedure that allowed me to walk right away—without pain—and I was even back at work the very next day! From my very first consultation, Dr. Shen and his team made sure I felt comfortable and well-informed about every step of the process. Their genuine compassion and expert guidance eased my worries and made all the difference in my recovery. I’m now on the road to feeling completely healthy again, and I can’t thank him enough for his skill and dedication. If you’re thinking about spine surgery and want someone who combines expertise with a personal touch, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shen. His care changed my life for the better, and I’m so thankful for everything he’s done for me.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery is the Way
Dr. Shen is a compassionate doctor who cares about every single patient he sees. He remembered everything about my case without a x ray or paperwork in front of him when I had questions. I successfully got two separate back surgeries this past summer. My pain in my upper back, that plagued me for years, is completely gone where I had cervical stenosis. My fusion on my lower spine is well on its way to healing fully. I vetted four different top surgeons in NYC before choosing Dr. Shen and I’m very happy with my choice. Don’t let old school surgeons tell you that endoscopic is not the way. They are just trying to get patients without learning the new technology. Dr. Shen called me every day after my surgery for about two weeks to see how I was doing and it meant a lot to me.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery in Arizona
Frequently Asked Questions
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive technique that allows surgeons to treat spinal disorders using a tiny camera and specialized instruments through a very small incision. ESINY is the only dedicated endoscopic spine institute in the United States, providing patients access to this advanced, precise approach.
Traditional surgery often requires large incisions, cutting through muscle, and the removal of bone or placement of hardware such as screws. Endoscopic surgery uses a small incision, minimizes tissue trauma, and frequently allows patients to return home the same day, all while reducing pain and speeding recovery.
Endoscopic procedures are highly safe when performed by skilled surgeons. They reduce the likelihood of complications, bleeding, and postoperative discomfort, and allow patients to resume normal activities sooner than with conventional spine surgery.
Depending on your preference and medical needs, endoscopic spine surgery can be performed with local anesthesia and light sedation, providing a faster recovery. If you wish to be completely unconscious during the procedure, general anesthesia is available.
Most patients experience immediate relief and can walk out of the facility the same day. Light activities can begin right away, and full recovery usually occurs significantly faster than traditional open surgery.
Conditions including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, bone spurs, and certain chronic back pain issues can be treated endoscopically. This approach precisely targets the root cause of pain while preserving surrounding tissues. Learn more about What We Treat.
Pain is minimal for most patients. Compared with traditional open procedures, discomfort is significantly reduced and few patients require strong pain medications.
The incision is very small, about the size of a pencil eraser, less than one centimeter. It is closed with surgical glue and a specially designed ESINY bandage, leaving a scar that is barely noticeable after healing.
Endoscopic spine surgery has seen rapid adoption internationally, yet not all surgeons have acquired the education and hands-on experience to perform it at the highest standards. Even trained surgeons must complete a substantial number of cases to refine their technique and ensure patient safety. The complexity of the procedure, combined with the need for specialized tools and precise execution, makes it a rare skill set. At ESINY, four endoscopic spine surgeons with international training collaborate in one facility, creating the United States’ largest high-volume center. This unmatched combination of skill and experience allows patients to access world-class care in a single, highly specialized environment.
Many individuals in Arizona qualify for minimally invasive endoscopic spine treatment, including patients previously told that open surgery was required or that surgery was not feasible. You may also be a candidate if prior injections or surgeries did not alleviate your discomfort. At the Endoscopic Spine Institute of New York, our experienced spine surgeons and pain specialists perform thorough evaluations and develop personalized care plans. Using state-of-the-art endoscopic procedures, we precisely target the source of pain while preserving surrounding tissues, helping Arizona patients regain mobility and return to daily activities with less pain.
Many individuals achieve outcomes with endoscopic spine surgery that are comparable to, or sometimes better than, traditional open procedures. The minimally invasive approach minimizes tissue trauma, allows for faster healing, and helps patients regain normal function more quickly. The procedure is designed to maximize both physical improvement and long-term quality of life for patients struggling with chronic spinal pain.
Endoscopic spine procedures are similar to injections in that they offer a controlled, less invasive method of managing spinal conditions. However, unlike injections, which may only provide temporary relief, endoscopic surgery precisely addresses the root cause of the pain. This method ensures more durable outcomes while still preserving the natural structures around the spine.
Many individuals in Arizona seek our care after traditional injections stop providing relief and they want a treatment that truly works. Endoscopic spine surgery delivers that option. By combining precise targeting with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, this approach gives Arizona patients long-term results, helping them move more freely, reduce pain, and resume the activities that matter most.
