Ankit Sarin and Sean Langenfeld join Gut Check hosts to cut through the hype and talk about how AI is being used in surgery today, where it could take colorectal care next, and what surgeons and medical students need to know as the technology continues to evolve.

In this episode of Gut Check, Meghana and Biddy discuss Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) and how they translate to real-world colorectal surgery. They explore how guidelines inform clinical decision-making, when it may be appropriate to deviate from recommendations, and the role of surgeon judgment in applying evidence-based guidance to individual patients.
