About

Gerhard Prager is a leading authority in metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), with a research focus that bridges clinical outcomes and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in surgical practice. His work is distinguished by a forward-looking vision, most notably through his role in convening an international expert consensus on the current status and future prospects of AI in MBS. This seminal 2025 paper, already garnering 14 citations, synthesizes the evolution of AI from rule-based systems to deep learning, charting a roadmap for its integration into preoperative planning, intraoperative decision-making, and postoperative care. Prager’s contributions are pivotal in defining how machine learning can enhance precision and safety in bariatric procedures, addressing critical challenges like patient selection and complication prediction. His impact is evident in the growing recognition of AI’s role in surgery, with his consensus serving as a foundational reference for researchers and clinicians. Beyond this, Prager is known for advancing evidence-based standards in MBS, shaping both clinical guidelines and technological innovation. His work positions him at the forefront of a surgical revolution, inspiring a new generation to explore the synergy between data-driven intelligence and patient-centered care.
