Multidisciplinarity in Thoraco-Pulmonary Diseases: Every Generation Needs a New Revolution. Insights from the XXII SIET National Meeting

Dear Colleagues,

The Italian Society of Thoracic Endoscopy (SIET) was established in 1980 to support research and innovation in endoscopic thoracic surgery by promoting their development and application in the national and international context. Moreover, the SIET promotes the training of young people through courses in collaboration with universities and scientific societies. The SIET national meeting is a means of information and training exchange, with the aim of creating a cohesive and active scientific community. It is held every two years, welcoming specialists from different disciplines. This year, the multidisciplinary spirit of the SIET will be decisively demonstrated, with participants equally divided between surgical and pulmonological specialties , reflecting in the scientific sphere what happens every day in clinical practice.

The XXII SIET national meeting (17–19 October 2024, Florence, Italy, https://www.sietfirenze2024.it/) is mainly focused on the following topics: pathologies of the trachea and large airways, the mediastinum, and the pleura, resectable pulmonary tumor, management of primitive and/or metastatic peripheral pulmonary noduli , digitalization in clinical practice, and non-neoplastic thoracic pathologies.

These topics will be addressed by international experts presenting their personal experiences. The current Special Issue aims to promote the most interesting abstracts presented during the meeting by developing them into full articles.  In accordance with the purpose of this collection, manuscripts should address innovations in this specific field of interest. 

All contributions must have been accepted and presented during the XXI SIET annual meeting.
