Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current era of robotic surgery and artificial intelligence (AI) applications aimed at enhancing patient care and surgeon performance has arrived and is advancing at a fast pace. Upon us is the responsibility to embrace these changes and adopt state-of-the-art technological advances that keep moving our specialties forward. An example of a surgical super speciality in which the use of AI and robotics has revolutionized the manner in which complex procedures are performed is metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). It has established itself as one of the most sophisticated, validated, and scientifically proven fields of surgery. The purpose of this Special Issue of Gastrointestinal Disorders, from MDPI, entitled “Gastrointestinal and Bariatric Surgery”, is to provide evidence-based updates to the worldwide surgical community on current techniques, innovative procedures, and promising trends around the globe that encompass the most important operations performed nowadays to save lives with MBS. Such procedures include but are not limited to robotic single anastomosis duodenoileostomy with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S), one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SADI) bypass, intestinal transit bipartition (TB), the well-established sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, in addition to revisional MBS. Finally, this Special Issue will include the most novel procedures that are leaving a mark on the surgical community within the realm of endobariatrics, particularly endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). This Special Issue will encompass the latest evidence-supported techniques, procedures, and advances that are relevant to metabolic and bariatric surgeons of the 21st century.
