The 22nd Surgery of the Foregut Symposium takes place at the Margaritaville Resort in Hollywood, Florida, on March 17-19, 2025. 

On March 17, in conjunction with the Florida/Puerto Rico/Caribbean Chapter of ASMBS, the course will present a full-day seminar on prevention, medical and surgical management of obesity, Metabolic Surgery: Beyond Weight Loss. On March 18, in conjunction with ISFGS, we will review new technology and techniques in surgery of the foregut and fluorescence guided surgery. On March 19, we will present interesting cases and abstracts submitted to the conference.

As in previous years, a “first-class” group of world-renowned surgeons, gastroenterologists, and oncologists has been invited to share their expertise and updates on the most recent technological and therapeutic advances in this steadily evolving field. Since 1999, this course has become one of the most prestigious forums in the field of foregut surgery, with attendees and faculty traveling from around the globe. This important educational activity also provides a forum for interaction between individuals involved with all aspects of foregut, metabolic, bariatric, and fluorescence guided surgery and the opportunity to converse with colleagues and key opinion leaders.

This year’s program will again include an updated extensive review of artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotic surgery, and how surgeons from around the globe are incorporating these tools of the future into their practices today
