Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Abdominal surgery has undergone a remarkable evolution over recent decades, transitioning from large, open procedures to increasingly precise, patient-centered interventions.
From the early days of exploratory laparotomy to the adoption of laparoscopic and robotic techniques, the field has consistently embraced innovation to reduce morbidity and improve outcomes. While past procedures and techniques are currently refined to adapt to modern medicine standards, we welcome innovative approaches that further progress our effort towards personalized medicine.
This Special Issue aims to explore the growing role of personalized management strategies in abdominal surgery, particularly in the context of complication prevention, risk stratification, and tailored postoperative care.
We seek to highlight recent advances in AI-assisted diagnostics, enhanced recovery after surgery protocols, and the use of innovative or smart surgical tools in both elective and emergency settings.
We welcome original research, high-quality clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews that address technological innovations, perioperative optimization, and personalized approaches to complex gastrointestinal as well as abdominal pathologies.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in JPM.
