Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collect scientific articles reviewing advances in pediatric urology and perspectives for optimizing pediatric patient care. With the integration of new technologies, advanced surgical techniques, multidisciplinary approaches and new insights in genetics, pediatric urology is a rapidly evolving discipline. The articles included in this Special Issue provide a comprehensive overview of the most important innovations in the field of pre-operative diagnostics, including the surgical planning of complex oncological cases, the optimization of the outpatient management of urological patients with chronic diseases, such as patients with neurogenic bladder diseases, the development of new minimally invasive surgical approaches for the treatment of congenital pathologies, urinary stones, tumors, and the importance of telementoring for the enhanced surgical management of complex clinical cases. The editorial examines the achievements of the past and looks to the future, highlighting areas where research is expanding, including the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve diagnosis and surgical planning. It aims to provide readers with a comprehensive and up-to-date view of an industry that is rapidly redefining standards of care, with the goal of improving the quality of life and long-term well-being of young patients.
