enVision Spine Surgery isn’t just minimally invasive – it’s least invasive. In fact, it’s one of the biggest technological advancements to spine surgery in the past 15 years. Using advanced endoscopic science, Dr. Shen performs spine surgery through a tiny incision that doesn’t disrupt muscles or ligaments and can be covered with a small bandage. In many cases, enVision Spine Surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis.
