Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robotic-assisted microsurgery and endoscopic surgery have transformed modern surgical practice, offering unprecedented precision, enhanced visualization, and improved ergonomics. These advances have significantly contributed to patient safety, reduced complications, and better clinical outcomes across a wide range of procedures. The integration of robotics and endoscopic techniques allows surgeons to perform complex interventions with greater accuracy, while minimizing invasiveness and supporting faster recovery.
This Special Issue welcomes original research, reviews, and case studies on patient safety, clinical outcomes, and innovative techniques in robotic and endoscopic surgery. Submissions exploring comparative effectiveness, surgical training, and the implementation of advanced technologies in clinical practice are particularly encouraged.
Dr. Tetsuji Uemura
