Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Minimally invasive surgery has undergone significant advancements in urology, fundamentally transforming patient care. These innovations, including laparoscopy, robotic-assisted surgery, and endourology, have redefined surgical approaches by offering patients less invasive alternatives, characterized by a reduction in postoperative discomfort, shorter hospital stays, and accelerated recuperation periods, especially when compared with traditional open surgeries. Through these techniques, urologists can execute more and more challenging procedures with precision while also minimizing tissue trauma. Consequently, the spectrum of treatable conditions using minimally invasive strategies, spanning from prostate cancer to urinary incontinence, has substantially expanded. As technology continues to progress and surgical expertise evolves, the horizon of urologic surgery holds promise for further enhancements using minimally invasive approaches. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on the clinical advancements in minimally invasive urologic surgery across the entire field of urological surgery.
