SAGES 2021 is designed to encourage learning, sharing of knowledge, communication and collaboration amongst SAGES members, other societies, and all other attendees. It is our hope and expectation that this meeting will help guide you to progress beyond your current expertise to reach the next level of mastery in your surgical practice. The most popular topics to be highlighted at the meeting are biliary, colorectal, hernia, bariatric, robotics, foregut, minimally invasive liver and pancreas surgery, flexible endoscopy, and emerging technologies. Highlights include “live” surgery in bariatrics, hernia, colorectal and foregut.

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques (JLAST) is the leading international peer-reviewed journal for practicing surgeons who want to keep up with the latest thinking and advanced surgical technologies in laparoscopy, endoscopy, NOTES, and robotics. The Journal is ideally suited to surgeons who are early adopters of new technology and techniques. Recognizing that many new technologies and techniques have significant overlap with several surgical specialties, JLAST is the first journal to focus on these topics both in general and pediatric surgery, and includes other surgical subspecialties such as: urology, gynecologic surgery, thoracic surgery, and more.
