Dr. Daniel Choi was recently featured in two major stories by Becker’s Spine Review, highlighting his groundbreaking work in minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery.
In 8 Endoscopic Spine Firsts, Dr. Choi is recognized for performing the first-ever endoscopic Barricaid annular closure using a dualPortal approach. This procedure, completed at Gramercy Surgery Center, used Amplify Surgical’s dualPortal system to place a 7 mm Barricaid implant through a single 1 cm incision—an achievement made possible by advanced imaging and nerve-safe navigation.
A second feature, Dr. Daniel Choi’s Golden Goose Goal for Endoscopic Spine Surgery, explores his vision for bringing endoscopic spinal fusion into private practice and ambulatory surgery center (ASC) settings. His current focus includes endo-TLIF, biologics-driven fusion, and expandable interbody cage technology, with the goal of making high-quality, minimally invasive care more accessible in outpatient environments.
These features reflect Dr. Choi’s leadership in shaping the future of spine care and redefining what’s possible with endoscopic techniques.
