Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hysterectomy remains a cornerstone in the surgical management of gynecologic malignancies, including cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers. Over the past decades, advances in surgical techniques, imaging, and oncologic understanding have reshaped the role and extent of hysterectomy in cancer care. Minimally invasive approaches, nerve-sparing techniques, and fertility-preserving options are now being increasingly considered, tailored to the disease stage and patient profile.
This Special Issue aims to explore the current standards and emerging innovations in hysterectomy for gynecologic cancers. We welcome original research, systematic reviews, and expert perspectives that examine surgical approaches, decision-making algorithms, outcomes, complications, and cost-effectiveness. Special attention will be given to evolving topics such as robotic-assisted surgery, individualized surgical planning, quality-of-life outcomes, survivorship, and integration of hysterectomy within multimodal cancer treatment.
By bringing together diverse contributions from surgical oncologists, gynecologists, and innovative researchers, this issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of where we stand today and where the field is headed in the surgical treatment of gynecologic cancers.
