Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our future consists of exciting, new emerging technologies, which are making surgery even more efficient, exciting, and safe due to faster recoveries, reduced pain, and fewer adverse events, thus reducing costs and improving outcomes.
The requirements for tailored treatments and quality of life are gradually increasing: women care about treatment results, but also demand for less collateral damage to their body image.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) plays a crucial role in gynecology as an alternative to traditional open surgery as well as traditional laparoscopic techniques. MIS nowadays includes: natural orifice endoscopic surgery (NOTES), single-port laparoscopy, office hysteroscopy, robotic platforms equipped with stereotactic 3D immersive and ergonomic handles, intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS), etc., for both benign gynecology and in gynecological oncology, even for complex gynecological procedures.
The technological progress and adoption of some innovations in the last decade have, however, not been uniform.
My aim as Guest Editor for this Special Issue is to provide a full immersion in the most promising innovations in the landscape of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, collecting experiences from our friends and colleagues running the best centers worldwide with expertise in the field.
