Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons

The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the digestive system. It promotes education, research, and collaboration among surgeons to improve patient care. SAGES focuses on procedures like laparoscopy and endoscopy, which involve smaller incisions and less recovery time compared to traditional surgery. By providing training and setting standards, the society helps ensure surgeons are skilled in the latest, safest techniques, ultimately benefiting patients through more effective and less invasive treatments.
