Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are witnessing the rise of increasingly less invasive surgery. Laparoscopic procedures are being enhanced by robot-assisted technology. This began with interventions in the pelvic region and is now expanding to other anatomical areas. Its application is not limited to surgery within the abdominal cavity, both intra- and extraperitoneal; it also includes, for example, spinal surgery combined with navigation techniques and robotic assistance. In this Special Issue of JCM, we present several professional papers from these fields that herald advances in robotic surgery.
