Dear Colleagues,
As pediatric surgery continues to evolve with technological advancements and innovative approaches, staying updated with the latest developments is crucial in providing the best care for our patients. The ability to integrate new techniques and research into our practices is essential to improving surgical outcomes and ensuring patient safety.
We are pleased to announce an upcoming Special Issue dedicated to the latest advances in pediatric surgery. This issue aims to synthesize and present recent research, innovative techniques, and clinical advancements in the field of pediatric surgery.
Special attention will be given to the role of technological innovations such as minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery, fluorescence-guided techniques and artificial intelligence, offering a platform to highlight the transformative contributions being made to improving surgical care for children.
We invite all surgeons, researchers, and clinicians to submit original research papers or reviews that explore emerging trends, novel approaches, and advancements in pediatric surgery.
We look forward to your contributions and to advancing knowledge and practices in this field.
