Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastrointestinal diseases are common diseases in the global population, including general inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases, peptic ulcer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer and irritable bowel syndrome. Surgical treatment of gastrointestinal diseases mainly includes open surgery and minimally invasive surgery.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has revolutionized the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, offering significant advantages over traditional open procedures. Leveraging technologies such as laparoscopy and robotic systems, MIS has become the standard approach for many GI diseases, characterized by smaller incisions, reduced tissue trauma, faster recovery, and lower rates of complications.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions of research related to gastrointestinal diseases.
Dr. Amosy Ephreim M'Koma
