This document is a response to a comment on a published manuscript in the Obesity Surgery journal. The authors conducted a systematic search in various bibliographic databases to provide an overview of machine learning applications in bariatric surgery. They included subdivisions of artificial intelligence (AI), such as machine learning and radiomics, and used MeSH terms to ensure comprehensive search coverage. The authors followed Cochrane Library guidelines for selecting relevant databases and excluded non-English articles to optimize time and resources. They emphasize the importance of critically reading and understanding the methodology of articles before making conclusions. The document also includes declarations regarding ethics approval, consent to participate, and conflict of interest. [Extracted from the article]
