Core Tip	This review centers on the theme of precision and functionalization in gastrointestinal surgery, integrating current evidence from three dimensions: The ongoing advancement of minimally invasive techniques and the refined implementation of postoperative accelerated recovery protocols, and the regulatory mechanisms of bariatric metabolism. This article systematically compares the oncological outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, summarizes the perioperative management optimization strategies guided by the enhanced recovery after surgery concept, and explores the regulatory effect of intestinal flora remodeling after bariatric surgery on the body’s metabolism, providing a theoretical basis for the transformation of modern gastrointestinal surgery from single radical cure to comprehensive functional preservation.
