    Literature review: An international Delphi consensus with Dr Amila Cizmic and Dr Monica Ortenzi

    In this episode of Inside Surgery, host Dr Alice Tsai speaks with Dr Amila Cizmic and Dr Monica Ortenzi about a 2023 paper published in Surgical Endoscopy, exploring surgical quality assessment in minimally invasive total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. They discuss how the project developed from an EAES Research Sandpit idea into an international Delphi consensus, and reflect on some of the decisions and challenges behind the research process. The conversation also touches on expert selection, questionnaire design, collaboration, and how studies like this can help shape future work in surgical quality assessment. The episode offers an insight into the realities of developing surgical research, from early ideas and methodology choices to publication and future applications, including the growing role of AI in surgery.

    Subject Editors for EAES

    In this episode of Inside Surgery, host Dr Alice Tsai speaks with Professor Young-Woo Kim (Section Editor for Surgical Endoscopy, based at the National Cancer Center Korea, and a leading gastric cancer surgeon specialising in minimally invasive and robotic surgery) and Professor Nicolò de Manzini (Section Editor for Surgical Endoscopy, Professor of Surgery at the University of Trieste, with expertise in general, colorectal, and surgical education). They discuss the role of subject editors and how they act as the first filter for submitted papers, deciding whether manuscripts should go to peer review or be rejected early. This protects reviewers’ time and ensures that only papers with clear value, relevance, and quality move forward. Both guests explain what a paper needs to be relevant to surgical practice. Professor Kim highlights scientific rigour, avoiding selection bias, and clinically useful AI and prospective studies, while Professor de Manzini values practical papers on complications, safety, difficult cases, and everyday surgical improvements. Overall, this episode shows what it means to publish in Surgical Endoscopy. If you enjoy this episode, why not subscribe to Inside Surgery so you don't miss out on future episodes?

    Hot topics in Surgery: AI with Professor Andrew Gumbs

    In this episode of Inside Surgery, host Dr. Alice Tsai speaks with Professor Andrew Gumbs, a world-renowned minimally invasive, robotic HPB surgeon and Editor-in-Chief of Artificial Intelligence Surgery, about the future of AI, robotics, and surgical autonomy. Professor Gumbs reflects on his international training across the US and Europe, his humanitarian surgical work in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Haiti, and how those experiences shaped his belief that AI and affordable robotics could help reduce global inequalities in access to surgery. The conversation explores the difference between fully robotic systems and collaborative robotics, with Professor Gumbs arguing for more affordable, bedside robotic tools that keep the surgeon directly involved with the patient. He discusses his work with collaborative robots, AI-guided camera systems, and the need for safe, stepwise adoption of autonomy in the operating room. Professor Gumbs highlights the importance of surgeons gaining AI knowledge, supporting research in the field, and working alongside computer scientists, ethicists, lawyers, business experts, and policymakers.

    Achalasia Guidelines: Evidence, Decisions, and Treatment Pathways

    In this episode of Inside Surgery, host Dr. Alice Tsai hands over to surgical resident Dr. Bright Huo (Surgical Resident, McMaster University, Canada) to explore the development of the upcoming 2026 multi-society clinical guidelines on the management of Achalasia. Joined by Dr. Stavros Antoniou (Chair Guidelines Committee, Greece), Prof. Milos Belovich (Bariatric Surgeon, Chair of Education & Training Committee. Serbia), and Assoc. Prof. Sonia Fernandez-Ananin (Consultant Upper GI & Bariatric Surgeon, Spain), the panel discusses how the guidelines were developed using rigorous evidence synthesis and the GRADE methodology, combining statistical analysis, expert consensus, and patient input. The episode covers key treatment recommendations, including the role of Heller Myotomy with Fundoplication as the preferred option for patients with moderate to severe symptoms who are fit for surgery, and POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy) as an important alternative for those who are not surgical candidates or prefer a less invasive approach. Other options such as Pneumatic Dilation and Botox Injection are discussed in the context of symptom severity and long-term effectiveness. A key focus throughout is shared decision-making, with many recommendations being conditional and requiring clinicians to balance evidence, patient preferences, and local access to treatments. The conversation also reflects on the complexity of modern guideline development, the challenges of interpreting evolving evidence, and how participation in the process has influenced clinical practice.

    Women at the Console: Breaking Barriers in Robotic Surgery

    In this special International Women’s Day episode of Inside Surgery, host Dr Draga Mandi speaks with Ms Gita Lingam and Dr Georgia Kotoreni, surgeons who completed the women only, EAES Intuitive robotics discovery course at the Amsterdam Skills Centre. Ms Lingam, a UK surgical trainee and research fellow in IBD and robotic surgery, and Dr Kotoreni, a general surgeon and PhD candidate in abdominal wall reconstruction in Greece, reflect on their experience in an all-women robotic training programme designed to build both technical expertise and professional community. The conversation explores access to robotic training across different European healthcare systems, the challenges women face in gaining console time and certification, and the importance of mentorship, representation, and supportive learning environments. They discuss the value of high-fidelity simulation, tailored hands-on training, and the unique dynamic created when women surgeons train together. Beyond the technical aspects, this episode examines belonging in surgery, the evolving landscape of robotic certification, and why dedicated spaces for women in surgical innovation remain essential. Released on International Women’s Day, the discussion highlights how community, visibility, and opportunity can shape the future of robotic surgery, and the next generation of women at the console.

    Telesurgery: Access and Training Without Boundaries

    In this episode of Inside Surgery, host Dr Alice Tsai speaks with Dr Youness Ahallal, urologist and robotic surgeon, internationally recognised for pioneering telesurgery and advancing robotic surgery across Africa. Dr Ahallal shares the story behind the world’s longest-distance robotic cancer surgery, performed between Shanghai and Morocco, and explains the four months of preparation required to make transcontinental telesurgery safe and feasible. The conversation explores signal latency, fibre-optic networks, AI-assisted motion stabilisation, and the teamwork required on both ends of a complex radical prostatectomy. Beyond the technical achievement, Dr Ahallal reflects on his journey from Morocco to the United States and France, and his decision to return home to establish the first robotic surgery programme in North Africa. He discusses how telesurgery can shorten the learning curve for surgeons, support mentorship across distances, and improve equitable access to high-quality surgical care.
