When you visit us for a consultation, we carefully examine the symptoms that persist after your traditional spine surgery (such as ongoing lower back pain, radiating leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness). We also review the specifics of the surgery you had, whether it involved rods, screws, or fusion, and assess how scar tissue, hardware issues, or unresolved nerve compression could still be causing your chronic pain.
If found to be a candidate for endoscopic surgery, we use an incision less than 1 cm and a tiny high-definition camera to reach the exact point needing treatment. By working around muscle and preserving healthy tissue, we can often correct the problem without adding new hardware or causing the disruption that often leads to further complications.
Because this approach is so precise, our patients typically experience less pain, fewer risks, and a recovery that is much faster than traditional revision surgery. Some procedures require only local anesthesia, and 95 percent of patients return home the very same day.
The following day, your ESINY surgeon personally calls to check in, review your progress, and answer questions—so you know you’re supported from the moment you leave the operating room through your recovery.
