Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surgical innovation is a cornerstone of advancing and enhancing surgical practice. Continuous improvements in surgical techniques, technologies, and approaches have consistently led to better patient outcomes, reduced complications, and shorter recovery times. The integration of novel tools, such as minimally invasive techniques and robotics, has transformed the way surgeons approach complex procedures, making surgeries safer and more effective. Despite these advancements, the wide variability in surgeon experience and the complexity of individual patient cases highlight the need for additional evidence to guide clinical decision making. Recently, some new surgical techniques have been developed for benign and malignant gynecological conditions. Specifically, robotics and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) are providing surgeons with alternative options, which may potentially improve outcomes. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on the clinical advances in minimally invasive gynecological surgery to help clarify their advantages and limitations, and ensure their safe and effective integration into everyday clinical practice.
