Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The landscape of gastrointestinal surgery is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by persistent advancements in new technologies and the burgeoning field of personalized medicine. This book delves into the synergistic impact of these two pivotal areas, exploring how cutting-edge innovations are revolutionizing the diagnosis, treatment, and postoperative management of gastrointestinal diseases. From the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence in the operating room to the application of sophisticated genomic and molecular profiling for tailored therapeutic strategies, each chapter illuminates the potential for enhanced precision and improved patient outcomes.

We examine the latest developments in minimally invasive techniques, image-guided surgery, and the use of advanced biomaterials, alongside the evolving role of biomarkers, theranostics, and the gut microbiome in personalizing surgical interventions. This comprehensive volume aims to provide surgeons, gastroenterologists, oncologists, researchers, and allied healthcare professionals with a critical understanding of the current state and future directions of this exciting and rapidly evolving field, ultimately striving towards a more individualized and effective approach to gastrointestinal surgical care.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping gastrointestinal (GI) surgery by enhancing decision-making, intraoperative performance, and postoperative management. The integration of AI-driven systems is enabling more precise, data-informed, and personalized surgical interventions. This review provides a state-of-the-art overview of AI applications in GI surgery, organized into four key domains: surgical simulation, surgical computer vision, surgical data science, and surgical robot autonomy. A comprehensive narrative review of the literature was conducted, identifying relevant studies of technological developments in this field. In the domain of surgical simulation, AI enables virtual surgical planning and patient-specific digital twins for training and preoperative strategy. Surgical computer vision leverages AI to improve intraoperative scene understanding, anatomical segmentation, and workflow recognition. Surgical data science translates multimodal surgical data into predictive analytics and real-time decision support, enhancing safety and efficiency. Finally, surgical robot autonomy explores the progressive integration of AI for intelligent assistance and autonomous functions to augment human performance in minimally invasive and robotic procedures. Surgical AI has demonstrated significant potential across different domains, fostering precision, reproducibility, and personalization in GI surgery. Nevertheless, challenges remain in data quality, model generalizability, ethical governance, and clinical validation. Continued interdisciplinary collaboration will be crucial to translating AI from promising prototypes to routine, safe, and equitable surgical practice. Full article
