The Center For Minimally Invasive Spine and Neurosurgery
As the Director of Spine Surgery, and Founder/Director of The Center for Minimally Invasive Spine and Neurosurgery, St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, Dr. Perin has developed a Minimally Invasive Spine Center, which provides many patients this treatment option, and has resulted in:
Dr. Perin is a pioneer in developing closed, endoscopic surgical techniques for treatment of the spine and spinal cord, including traumatic, neoplastic, degenerative, congenital and inflammatory disorders. Dr. Perin is one of the few surgeons in the world to perform endoscopic thoracic spinal surgery. This technique results in less post-operative pain and a faster recovery time for the patient. Dr. Perin is the author of the textbook "Thoracic Spine Surgery", which is used in medical schools around the world.Thoracoscopic spinal surgery is a minimally invasive surgery in the thoracic spine. Minimally invasive techniques reduce access related tissue trauma, resulting in less post-operative pain and reduced shoulder girdle disability (associated with the open thoracotomy). Since there is a shorter hospital stay and post-operative recuperation, patients return to work and other activities sooner.
Dr.Perin has a special interest in the diagnosis and treatment of Spinal cord tumors such as Ependymomas and Astrocytomas, as well as tumors of the peripheral nerves.
Dr. Perin is considered a leader in the treatment of Hyperhidrosis, and uses endoscopic techniques to transform the lives of patients who suffer with this problem. Dr. Perin is a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, where he served on their spine section scientific and credentialing committees. He was formerly an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Director of Spinal Surgery at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
Roosevelt Hospital Center in Mid-town Manhattan on the West side, within two blocks from the “Time Warner” Building and the “Lincoln Center” offers a comprehensive clinical program for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the spine and spinal cord. Complex problems involving the occipito-cervical junction through the sacrum and coccyx are investigated extensively and recommendations for treatment are made.
Dr. Perin specializes in all aspects of spinal surgery including spinal instrumentation and Fusion techniques up and down the spine.
