Gynecological Surgery: New Clinical Insights and Challenges

Dear Colleagues,

Minimally invasive surgery continues to transform the field of gynecological surgery and is now the standard of care for the surgical treatment of many diseases in gynecology. Recent advances in minimally invasive surgery offer several benefits to patients with gynecological diseases. Owing to minimally invasive surgery’s clear advantages, new advances in technology are being employed rapidly, enabling even the most complicated procedures to be performed less invasively. The advantages of a minimally invasive approach include reduced intraoperative blood loss, less postoperative pain, shorter rehabilitation time, and a significant reduction in overall and surgical postoperative morbidity. However, all surgical procedures have certain risks associated with them. The patient’s age, comorbidities, weight, level of compliance, hygiene, nutrition, and functional performance may prove to be directly or indirectly causative. A timely diagnosis and prompt treatment are key to dealing with these problems. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on the clinical advancement of minimally invasive benign and malignant gynecologic surgery, with particular attention to the patient's perioperative morbidity.
