Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastrointestinal surgery is seeing continuous growth due to advances in minimally invasive surgery, such as robotic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic techniques, which offer key advantages over open surgery. Moreover, image-guided surgery with the adjunct use of artificial intelligence has seen significant advancements in recent years.
The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase novel GI surgery techniques centered on maximizing benefits for the patient in every way possible.
High-impact research is vital in discovering new methods for treating patients and addressing areas that have previous not received sufficient attention or interest and for which we still lack clear solutions.
Authors are welcome to submit original articles, reports on novel treatment strategies and advances in decision-making, clinical outcome studies, comparative studies, narrative reviews, scoping reviews, and systematic reviews and meta-analyses that will fuel innovation and offer hope for patients.
