The Minnesota Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIMIS) is located on the medical campus of Cuyuna Regional Medical Center in Crosby, MN.  It is served by twelve minimally invasive surgeons, supported by more than 65 operating room professionals and sustained by the skills and dedication of an entire medical campus.  The MIMIS surgery center is a vision and commitment of Cuyuna Regional Medical Center and the surgeons of it's Eye, Orthopaedic, Gynecologic, LaparoEndoscopic (General)  and Weight Loss Surgery specialties to support and promote minimally invasive surgery on the medical campus.
