Patients can expect quicker, smoother healing with this patient-centered approach.

This technique minimizes downtime and helps patients get back to their routine with less discomfort.

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 a cutting-edge, minimally invasive approach that uses an endoscope to view the problem area of the spine through a small incision. Tiny instruments are then used to make accurate corrections. ESINY stands as the only U.S. institute dedicated exclusively to endoscopic spine procedures, offering unmatched expertise.
The small incision leads to less muscle disruption and scarring, allowing for quicker recovery. This method offers faster pain relief, fewer complications, and a lower risk of infection. Many patients are able to return home the same day, making it a convenient treatment option.
Conventional spine surgeries typically require large incisions and result in significant blood loss. Endoscopic spine surgery uses a tiny incision and advanced imaging for accurate, targeted treatment. This technique reduces recovery time, minimizes pain, and allows for a faster return to normal activities.
Spinal injections can provide temporary relief, but for patients in Manhasset, endoscopic spine surgery offers a longer-lasting solution. While both treatments are minimally invasive, endoscopic surgery focuses on addressing the underlying causes of pain rather than just masking the symptoms. This procedure provides a more permanent fix, offering the benefits of injections but with the added advantage of lasting results.
For many in Manhasset, endoscopic surgery is the next step when injections no longer provide relief. By combining the benefits of a minimally invasive procedure with advanced technology, patients experience faster recovery and long-term results, getting back to living a pain-free, active life.
Yes, endoscopic spine surgery is a highly safe and widely respected procedure, known for its low complication rates and faster recovery times. In the hands of skilled surgeons, it is often considered a safer option than traditional open spine surgery. The procedure’s minimally invasive nature ensures minimal damage to surrounding tissues, reducing stress and discomfort during the recovery process.
Your choice of anesthesia is based on your personal preferences. Local anesthesia combined with sedation is the most common choice, as it allows for a faster recovery with fewer side effects. However, if you would prefer full general anesthesia, we are more than equipped to provide that option, with anesthesiologists carefully tailoring the plan to ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure.
Patients in Manhasset typically experience a quick recovery with endoscopic spine surgery, walking within hours and going home the same day. Pain relief is often felt immediately, and many return to their regular activities within just a few days. This method offers a much faster recovery time compared to traditional spine surgery.
Endoscopic spine surgery is effective for treating conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and chronic back pain. The procedure’s minimally invasive design targets only the problem areas while preserving healthy tissue. This results in faster recovery and longer-lasting relief for patients. Learn more about What We Treat.
Endoscopic spine surgery is typically associated with very little pain, as most patients report minimal discomfort after the procedure. The small incision and advanced techniques significantly reduce swelling and irritation, making the recovery process smoother. Pain medication is usually not necessary, and many patients describe their recovery as easier than they expected. At ESINY, we are committed to providing both comfort and long-term recovery.
The incision for endoscopic spine surgery is smaller than 1 centimeter, and most patients experience little to no visible scarring. The incision is closed with a medical adhesive, ensuring a clean and smooth closure. This technique’s cosmetic benefits are one of the reasons many patients choose it over traditional spine surgeries.
While endoscopic spine surgery has been common in other parts of the world for years, it is still becoming more widely recognized in the U.S. It requires precision and specialized training, which not all surgeons possess. ESINY is the only institute in the U.S. dedicated to endoscopic spine surgery, offering the latest in innovative care to patients.
If traditional surgery has been ruled out for you or open surgery is the only option suggested, endoscopic spine surgery might still be a viable solution. Many patients in Manhasset who have exhausted other treatments, such as injections and physical therapy, find new hope through minimally invasive spine surgery. At ESINY, we take the time to evaluate each patient’s condition thoroughly to ensure that the treatment plan is customized to provide the best possible outcome.
Our endoscopic surgery focuses directly on the root cause of pain in your back, neck, arm, or leg, all while preserving healthy tissue. This results in a faster recovery, minimal discomfort, and long-lasting results. For Manhasset patients, this approach can mean a quicker return to daily activities and a more pain-free life.
The results of endoscopic spine surgery can be just as good, if not better, than those achieved with traditional open surgery. However, the real advantage lies in the quicker recovery and reduced physical toll on the body. The procedure is designed to target spinal problems directly with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, offering a more efficient healing process. Whether you’re dealing with lumbar pain or conditions impacting the spinal cord, endoscopic spine surgery provides lasting improvements to spinal health and overall quality of life.
