Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Minimally invasive surgery represents an approach that has revolutionized healthcare by promoting a new era of surgery. Such procedures provide several benefits over traditional open surgery in many aspects. In addition, technological advancements have played a vital role in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic, robot-assisted, endoscopic, and thoracoscopic surgery constitute procedures that have gained more ground and acceptance due to their significant advantages. To date, minimally invasive surgery is steadily becoming the preferred approach for treating patients with several diseases, including upper and lower gastrointestinal malignancies. This Special Issue aims to seek articles that emphasize the value of minimally invasive surgery through its widespread use in a plethora of diseases. It will also highlight novel techniques and procedures that can contribute to and transform the future of surgery.
