Gynecological Surgery: Current Perspectives and Future Challenges

Dear Colleagues,

The world of benign and malignant gynecologic surgery is constantly expanding thanks to the improvement of minimally invasive surgical techniques and the ever-growing experience of gynecologists of the third millennium. The purpose of this Special Issue is to present studies on new surgical frontiers for the treatment of benign and, above all, malignant diseases, from endometrial cancers passing through that of the ovary, to those of the cervix and vulva. Alongside laparotomic and laparoscopic surgeries, the use of robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) surgery and vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has been increasing for years, allowing excellent surgical results as well as reduced operating times, shorter hospital stays, better aesthetic results and the possibility of carrying out the surgery under regional anesthesia.

As with medical therapy, surgery can now also be performed on the basis of not only the type of disease, but also the type of patient. Especially for malignant conditions, there is a need to highlight current perspectives with an eye to the future, allowing surgeons to work in harmony with clinicians—in particular, oncologists and radiotherapists. For these reasons, original articles, as well as systematic and narrative reviews of the literature, are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue.
