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
Frequently Asked Questions
Endoscopic spine surgery is the most advanced form of minimally invasive treatment for spine conditions. With a small incision, an endoscope equipped with a high-definition camera allows the surgeon to clearly view the issue. Tiny surgical tools are then used for precise corrections. ESINY is the only institute in the U.S. fully dedicated to endoscopic spine surgery.
Endoscopic spine surgery offers multiple benefits, including smaller incisions and minimal muscle damage. This leads to faster healing and less scarring. Patients typically experience quicker pain relief, fewer complications, and can return home the same day. This precise technique ensures long-lasting improvement.
Traditional spine surgeries often involve large incisions, greater blood loss, and longer recovery times. Endoscopic spine surgery, on the other hand, uses a small incision and advanced imaging to treat the issue directly. It minimizes muscle and bone removal, resulting in faster recovery, less discomfort, and a quicker return to daily life.
If you've tried spinal injections, you know the appeal of a non-surgical approach to pain relief that helps keep you active. For patients in Hoboken, endoscopic spine surgery elevates this concept by offering a gentle, precise procedure that addresses the root cause of pain. Unlike injections, which only provide temporary relief, this advanced technique offers long-lasting improvements.
Many Hoboken patients turn to us when injections are no longer effective. Endoscopic spine surgery provides hope for lasting pain relief, combining minimal invasiveness with faster recovery and long-term results to help you return to full, comfortable living.
Yes, endoscopic spine surgery is highly safe and trusted worldwide. When performed by experienced surgeons, it is often safer than traditional open surgery, with lower complication rates and quicker recovery times. The minimal tissue disruption makes the recovery smoother and less stressful.
It depends on what makes you most comfortable. Many patients opt for local anesthesia with sedation, as it allows for faster recovery and avoids the side effects of general anesthesia. However, full anesthesia is available for those who prefer it. Our anesthesiologists work with you to create a tailored plan that ensures your comfort throughout the procedure.
Recovery after endoscopic spine surgery is one of its greatest advantages. Most patients are walking within hours and can return home the same day. Pain in the back, legs, or arms often improves immediately, and many return to normal activities within days. Compared to traditional surgery, recovery time is significantly reduced, helping you heal faster.
Endoscopic spine surgery is suitable for a variety of spine issues, such as herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and chronic lower back pain. Its minimally invasive nature ensures pinpoint precision, removing only the affected tissue while preserving surrounding healthy structures. Learn more about What We Treat.
Most patients experience minimal pain after endoscopic spine surgery. The small incision and advanced techniques significantly reduce swelling and irritation. Heavy pain medication is rarely necessary, and many patients find recovery easier than expected. Our primary focus is ensuring comfort while achieving long-term results.
The incision is less than 1 centimeter, often leaving no visible scar. We use a specialized medical adhesive to close the incision, which is then covered with an ESINY bandage for protection during healing. This minimal scarring is one reason many people choose this approach.
Endoscopic spine surgery has been widely used in other countries for years, but it’s still growing in popularity in the U.S. The method requires highly specialized training, and few surgeons are trained in it. ESINY is the nation's only institute dedicated to endoscopic spine care, providing world-class expertise to American patients.
Even if you’ve been told surgery isn’t right for you or that open surgery is your only option, you may still be eligible for a less invasive alternative. Many Hoboken patients who have tried injections, physical therapy, or other treatments without success find new hope with endoscopic spine surgery. At ESINY, we carefully evaluate each patient to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Our endoscopic approach directly targets the source of your back, neck, arm, or leg pain while preserving healthy tissue. This level of precision often leads to a faster, smoother recovery and more durable results, helping patients in Hoboken return to pain-free living with renewed confidence.
In many cases, the results of endoscopic spine surgery are just as good, if not better, than traditional open surgery. The key advantage is the significantly shorter recovery time and less physical strain on the body. This precise, patient-focused technique addresses spinal issues directly while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, ensuring faster recovery and better long-term results.
