Minimally invasive surgery is constantly evolving. Recently, newer techniques are being explored and newer disciplines are changing the lives of many patients.

In this issue of Digestive Disease Interventions, we explore the latest techniques, provide current data, and report adjuncts to prepare the reader for the future of surgery. This is a compilation of the latest innovations along a wide spectrum of surgical disciplines. We had the honor to invite world-renowned experts to provide their view on the current and future state of abdominal surgery in foregut, colorectal, and metabolic surgery. Innovations and latest technologies have been meticulously reported to provide the readers with the newest data to improve their practices. From the use of indocyanine green in surgery, minimally invasive surgery in trauma, advanced endoscopy in colorectal surgery, prehabilitation in hernia repair, and precision medicine, this issue of Digestive Disease Interventions will provide an excellent overview and reference for general and abdominal surgeons interested in latest technology, data, and best practices.
