Urologic Surgery: From Bench to Bedside

Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to announce this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, entitled ‘Urologic Surgery: From Bench to Bedside’. This Special Issue focuses on the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of urologic surgery, highlighting the journey of scientific innovations from basic research to clinical application.

In recent years, the field of urology has witnessed significant advancements, driven by groundbreaking research and technological innovations. This Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between laboratory research (the ‘bench’) and patient care (the ‘bedside’), showcasing the latest developments in surgical techniques, patient management, and treatment modalities in urologic surgery. Featuring a collection of peer-reviewed articles, this Special Issue welcomes contributions from leading experts in urology, surgery, oncology, and biomedical engineering. We aim to cover a wide range of topics, from minimally invasive surgical techniques and robotic-assisted procedures to the development of new diagnostic tools and treatment strategies for urological diseases, such as prostate cancer, bladder disorders, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and kidney diseases.

Our goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current trends and future directions in urologic surgery, offering valuable insights for clinicians, surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals. This Special Issue not only highlights the importance of translational research in improving patient outcomes but also underscores the collaboration needed across various disciplines to advance the field of urologic surgery.

Join us in exploring the exciting and challenging journey of urologic surgery in this Special Issue, from bench to bedside.

Prof. Dr. Riccardo Lombardo
Guest Editor
