Minimally Invasive Surgeons of Texas

Minimally Invasive Surgeons of Texas (MIST) is an active UT Physicians surgical practice in the Greater Houston area focused on minimally invasive general surgery, bariatric surgery, hernia and abdominal wall reconstruction, reflux and foregut surgery, surgical oncology, and medical weight management. The group operates as a clinical care organization rather than a drug-development biotech company. Its surgeons emphasize laparoscopic, robotic, and endoluminal approaches, and the practice is affiliated with McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. MIST also participates in fellowship training through the MIST Fellowship Consortium and supports high-volume bariatric and advanced gastrointestinal surgery programs. The organization appears to function as a branded clinical practice within UT Physicians rather than as an independent pharmaceutical or biotechnology company.
