Dr. Sanjay Konakondla, a renowned endoscopic spine surgeon in New York, continues to transform spinal healthcare through advanced endoscopic techniques that reduce recovery time and elevate patient outcomes.
Serving patients across the United States and internationally, Dr. Sanjay Konakondla, a leading spine surgeon in New York, advances the evolution of minimally invasive spine surgery with a patient-centered philosophy emphasizing that spine surgery does not have to be intimidating.
“Our goal is to listen carefully to each patient and understand what they want to return to in their daily life,” said Dr. Sanjay Konakondla, a board-certified neurosurgeon specializing in complex spinal reconstructions and a leading minimally invasive spine surgeon in New York. “Every treatment plan is shaped around that goal, using the most advanced and least invasive surgical options available to help patients recover and move forward.”
The Endoscopic Spine Institute of New York has become a leading center for advanced spinal interventions, supported by Dr. Konakondla’s extensive academic and surgical background. He completed his fellowship in complex and minimally invasive spine surgery at Brown University and previously contributed to the development of an endoscopic spine program at a major neuroscience institute. His academic influence encompasses more than 60 peer-reviewed publications in respected neurosurgical journals, garnering hundreds of global citations and consistent recognition for advancing endoscopic spine outcomes. His Google Scholar profile reflects this impact, with an h-index of 12 and an i10-index of 16, underscoring his sustained contributions to the field of neurosurgical research. His work spans topics such as transforaminal endoscopic discectomy, endoscopic tumor biopsy techniques, and functional outcomes following minimally invasive spine procedures.
His research portfolio also includes significant contributions to neuronal regeneration and functional recovery following spinal or neurological injury, reflecting a broader commitment to long-term restoration. He has advanced neurosurgical education through publications on simulation-based training, helping prepare the next generation of minimally invasive surgeons. His work includes comparative studies evaluating outcomes between endoscopic and traditional surgical techniques, offering evidence that informs modern spine practice and patient care standards. He has explored perioperative safety topics, such as cerebrospinal fluid leak management, and has strengthened efforts to improve surgical safety protocols. Several of his recent studies emphasize ultra-early patient-reported outcomes after endoscopic spine surgery, underscoring his commitment to measuring recovery through both clinical and patient-centered metrics and advancing the broader understanding of endoscopic spine surgery outcomes.
He has presented his research at national and international spine surgery conferences and developed a patented endoscopic surgical portal designed to enhance safety and precision during spine procedures. In addition to his clinical and technical contributions, he is the founding president of the International Spinal Endoscopy Research Foundation (iSERF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing education and research in endoscopic spine surgery and supporting its broader adoption worldwide. Through this work, he also supports research initiatives aimed at making minimally invasive spine care more accessible to patients globally.
Together, these advancements continue to shape the institute’s patient-centered treatment philosophy, expanding access to comprehensive spinal care for patients nationally and internationally under the guidance of a leading endoscopic spine surgeon in New York. As a founding member of the Endoscopic Spine Institute of New York (ESINY), Dr. Konakondla helps uphold a standard of quality care that extends beyond clinical outcomes to every aspect of the patient experience. His leadership at ESINY positions the institute at the forefront of advanced endoscopic spine techniques, including the development of specialized ESINY protocols designed to address the most complex spinal conditions. Through this work, ESINY has emerged as a global destination for patients seeking advanced endoscopic spine surgery.
