Updates and Challenges in Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

With the spread of endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques, minimally invasive surgical approaches have completely changed the field of surgery. This Special Issue examines surgical procedures, cutting-edge techniques, and clinical results, with an emphasis on the most recent research and technical developments in these fields. It seeks to address the challenges faced by surgeons and offer insightful information on the changing field of minimally invasive surgery.

Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) has become a feasible method for treating gastrointestinal tract (GIT) mucosal and sub-epithelial lesions that are resistant to traditional treatment modalities.

Therefore, although laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures have revolutionized the surgical field, persistent issues still require attention to improve surgical outcomes and patient care.
