North Mississippi Health Services offers the latest in surgical procedures—from minimally invasive to complex—across a broad spectrum of specialties. NMMC-Tupelo has one of the busiest surgery programs in Mississippi.
Cutting-Edge Technology & Expertise
Our highly skilled, experienced surgeons plus the most advanced technology available add up to one of the best surgery programs you’ll find anywhere.
Our surgeons perform a wide variety of procedures across these specialties:
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery generally means less pain, a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications.
Laparoscopy uses small incisions and a camera for gallbladder removal, hernia repair and other common surgical procedures.
Robotic surgery provides an alternative to traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy. Surgeons perform complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
North Mississippi Medical Center hospitals in Tupelo, Amory and West Point offer robotic surgery. NMMC-Tupelo is home to the largest robotic surgery program in this area, with four da Vinci® Surgical Systems.
