Dr. Sean McCance saved my life. I was in horrible back pain for years. I had tried everything – acupuncture, chiropractor, physical therapy, yoga. Nothing helped. After the surgery it was like a light switch that controls pain was finally turned off. His office staff is very professional and courteous. Highly recommend. ~ Google

My spine surgery was extremely successful. I am an avid golfer, and prior to my operation I was unable to continue walking and golfing as I have done for many years. Weeks after my surgery, I was once again walking and golfing with zero limitations. Additionally, in April I was a spectator at a major golf tournament and walked 10 miles in 1 day without any problems. Selecting the right orthopedic spine surgeon took some time and my choice was simplified by deciding to see the doctor that writes the books, not reads them. ~ Google

Herniated Disc Surgery Specialists of NYC offer the following surgeries to treat herniated discs:
- Microdiscetomy: The best in class board certified orthopedic spine surgeons at Herniated Disc Surgery Specialists of NYC may be able to operate on your back through a ‘keyhole’ procedure. This surgery has a quicker recovery time than traditional discectomy surgery.
- Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression Surgery: Lumbar decompression surgery is a type of orthopedic spine surgery used to treat compressed nerves in the lower (lumbar) spine.
- Endoscopic Discectomy: An endoscopic discectomy is a minimally invasive approach performed through tiny portals, and a miniature camera is used to visualize and remove the disc.
- Discectomy: A type of orthopedic spine surgery performed to remove the damaged part of one or more intervertebral discs.
- Laminectomy: A laminectomy is a type of decompression surgery performed to relieve the pressure on your spinal cord or nerves. During this procedure, the surgeon removes all or part of the vertebral bone (lamina). This helps alleviate the pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots that may be caused by a herniated disc.
- Laminoplasty: This is a motion-preserving surgery performed by our board certified NYC orthopedic spine surgeons designed to alleviate chronic nerve-related pain and restore a more optimal range of motion, laminoplasty is often used to correct stenosis in the cervical (neck) or lumbar (back). It can also be used to access and treat a problematic bone spur, an abnormal growth (tumor), or a fluid-filled cyst (syringomyelia).
- Spinal Fusion: Spinal fusion is an operation to join two or more of the spinal bones together using a bone graft.
- Minimally Invasive Robotic Spine Fusion: Dr. Sean McCance is one of a select group of board-certified orthopedic spine surgeons in New York to be fully certified in ExcelsiusGPS® robotic spine surgery. This new minimally invasive technology is the most advanced technology in the field of robotic surgery for orthopedic spinal fusion surgery.
I am 64 years old but very active. Play softball regularly and touch football. Out of nowhere, I couldn’t walk 4 steps without writhing in pain. I thought I was done being athletic. L4 L3, ruptured herniated disk! Dr. McCance operated and I did the PT religiously. I now have no pain, no loss of strength, and I feel like I did about 10 years ago. I can run fast 🙂 I am so so grateful. He is a great surgeon. I have a few friends who had spine surgery and sadly, it didn’t work out like it did for me. I highly recommend Dr. McCance. 🙂 ~ Google
