Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laparoscopy was created in France in 1944 when the great gynecologic surgeon, Raoul Palmer, had the idea to introduce an optical camera inside the abdomen during operations. Since then, the steady progress made has revolutionized our approach to women's health care in terms of prognosis and quality of life in gynecological disorders. More recently, robotic-assisted laparoscopy has enabled even more complex procedures to be performed while improving surgeons’ comfort. In most conditions, whether benign or malignant, the minimally invasive approach has become the standard and is associated with reduced morbidity and improved post-operative outcomes.
New developments made in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery relate to different aspects of research, including materials and techniques, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, anatomical considerations, surgical procedures, pre- or postoperative management, and virtual reality. However, this list is not definite. This issue aims to promote original works as well as reviews or meta analyses that could contribute to improving our standard of care and women’s health.
I cannot wait to read your interesting work!
