Carpal Tunnel Surgery in Mississippi: What to Know
Mississippi offers excellent options for carpal tunnel surgery. The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) in Jackson operates the Jabaley-Songcharoen Center, a multidisciplinary hand and nerve surgery center handling a large volume of cases, from common carpal tunnel syndrome to complex reconstructions. Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center also provides advanced hand specialist care with minimally invasive techniques across multiple locations. You can even find the Sonex procedure, an in-office ultrasound-guided technique using the SX-One MicroKnife®, at Mississippi Motion for rapid recovery.
For more affordable care, consider an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) like the one at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center (SMRMC) in McComb, which often has lower overhead than hospitals.
