Cardiothoracic Surgery and Enhanced Recovery: Recent Advances and Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue titled "Cardiothoracic Surgery and Enhanced Recovery: Recent Advances and Perspectives" delves into the evolving landscape of cardiothoracic surgery and enhanced recovery protocols. With a focus on improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery times, this compilation aims to address the challenges and opportunities encountered in perioperative care across various cardiothoracic surgical procedures.

Aims:

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in cardiothoracic surgery and enhanced recovery protocols. It seeks to identify core problems in perioperative care, pain management, and postoperative complications associated with cardiothoracic surgical interventions.

Scope:

Encompassing a wide array of topics, including minimally invasive techniques, perioperative care protocols, and multidisciplinary approaches, this scope covers innovative strategies to optimize patient recovery in cardiothoracic surgical settings. Contributions exploring novel surgical interventions, perioperative care protocols, and outcomes assessment tools are welcome.

Mobilization:

We invite researchers, clinicians, and practitioners to contribute original research, reviews, and perspectives that advance our understanding of cardiothoracic surgery and enhanced recovery. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, this Special Issue aims to drive improvements in patient care and outcomes in cardiothoracic surgical settings. Join us in exploring these recent advances and charting a course towards enhanced recovery in cardiothoracic surgery.
