Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the Guest Editor of this Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Pediatric Surgery: Innovative Approaches and Emerging Technologies”, I am pleased to invite you to submit your work to the journal Children.
Pediatric surgery has undergone remarkable advancements in recent years, driven by the continuous evolution of minimally invasive techniques, robotics, artificial intelligence, and imaging technologies. These innovations are transforming the surgical management of complex conditions, enabling greater precision, reducing morbidity, and improving long-term outcomes. As technology continues to expand the frontiers of pediatric surgical care, it is essential to explore its applications, benefits, and challenges to enhance patient outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for cutting-edge research in pediatric surgery, showcasing novel approaches and technological breakthroughs that are shaping the future of the field. We welcome contributions that explore innovative surgical techniques, emerging technologies, and their clinical applications. Topics of interest include minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, AI-driven surgical decision-making, fluorescence-guided imaging, 3D printing for preoperative planning, augmented reality in surgery, and advancements across all fields of pediatric surgery.
We encourage the submission of original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical studies that contribute to the advancement of pediatric surgical care.
