The Safest Spine Surgery in the World
Endoscopic spine surgery delivers exceptional safety and precision. With near-zero infection rates and a recovery time far shorter than open surgery, it’s a highly effective solution. Blood loss is minimized to a fraction of traditional methods, and the small incisions make for a less invasive experience. This approach reduces risks and promotes faster, smoother recovery.
95% Walk Out the Same Day—with Less Pain and Only a Band-Aid
Endoscopic spine surgery offers rapid recovery, with most patients going home the same day. No hospital admission or multiple dressings are required—just a simple ESINY band-aid. This streamlined, patient-focused method ensures less downtime and greater comfort.
Say Goodbye To General Anesthesia
Endoscopic spine surgery often requires only local anesthesia and minimal sedation, avoiding the fatigue and side effects of general anesthesia. This allows for a smoother recovery and less discomfort. It’s a safer, more efficient way to heal.

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.

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 an advanced, minimally invasive method for treating spine problems. A small incision allows for the insertion of an endoscope with a high-resolution camera, providing a detailed view of the area. Tiny surgical instruments are then used for precise adjustments. ESINY is the only dedicated endoscopic spine surgery institute in the U.S.
Endoscopic spine surgery offers significant benefits, such as smaller incisions and less muscle damage. These factors lead to faster recovery, reduced scarring, and quicker pain relief. Patients often leave the same day with fewer complications, and the approach promotes long-term spinal health.
Traditional spine surgeries typically require larger incisions, more blood loss, and extended recovery times. Endoscopic spine surgery uses a small incision and advanced imaging to access and treat the issue with precision. This results in reduced muscle and bone disruption, a shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery.
Spinal injections offer temporary pain relief, but endoscopic spine surgery in Jersey City takes this concept to the next level by targeting the root cause of pain. It’s still a minimally invasive procedure, but it provides more lasting relief than injections, offering a long-term solution to your spinal issues.
Many patients in Jersey City reach out to us when injections no longer provide the relief they once did. Endoscopic spine surgery offers them a minimally invasive approach that accelerates recovery while delivering long-term, effective results so they can return to a pain-free life.
Yes, endoscopic spine surgery is considered highly safe and trusted globally. In the hands of skilled surgeons, it is often safer than traditional open surgery, offering fewer complications and faster recovery. The procedure's minimal tissue disruption ensures a smoother, less stressful experience for patients.
Your anesthesia options depend on your personal comfort. Many patients prefer local anesthesia and sedation, which allows for a quicker recovery and fewer side effects. However, if you prefer full anesthesia, that option is also available. Our anesthesiologists will work closely with you to tailor the best anesthesia plan for your procedure.
Recovery is one of the biggest benefits of endoscopic spine surgery. Most patients are able to walk within hours and go home the same day. Pain relief is often immediate, and many patients return to normal activities within a few days. Recovery time is significantly shorter than traditional spine surgery, allowing you to get back to your life faster.
Endoscopic spine surgery is effective for many spine conditions, including herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and chronic lower back pain. Its minimally invasive design ensures precision, targeting only the necessary tissue while leaving healthy areas intact. Learn more about What We Treat.
Endoscopic spine surgery is generally associated with little pain. The tiny incision and advanced techniques minimize swelling and irritation, leading to a more comfortable recovery. Most patients rarely need strong pain medications, and many report the recovery process as easier than expected. Our focus is on patient comfort and achieving long-lasting results.
The incision is smaller than 1 centimeter, usually leaving no noticeable scar. We carefully close it with a special adhesive and cover it with an ESINY bandage to protect it as it heals. This minimal scarring is a key reason patients prefer this approach.
Endoscopic spine surgery has been popular in other parts of the world for many years, but it’s still catching on in the U.S. It requires specialized training and experience, which many surgeons lack. ESINY is the only dedicated endoscopic spine institute in the country, bringing cutting-edge care to American patients.
If you’ve been told surgery isn’t an option or that open surgery is your only choice, you might still qualify for a minimally invasive alternative. Many Jersey City patients who have tried injections, physical therapy, or other treatments without success find relief with endoscopic spine surgery. At ESINY, we evaluate each patient’s condition to ensure the treatment plan is personalized and effective.
Our endoscopic technique targets the root cause of pain in your back, neck, arm, or leg, while preserving healthy tissue. This precision often leads to a quicker recovery and better long-term results, helping patients in Jersey City regain their mobility and live pain-free.
Endoscopic spine surgery often delivers results that are equal to or even superior to traditional open surgery, with the added benefit of a quicker and less taxing recovery.
