Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, there have been extensive developments in the surgical management of benignant and malignant urinary pathologies. Novel treatment approaches are gaining traction, and more and more mature results are underlining the relevance of mini-invasivity in any kind of urological surgery. Today, surgical stress and invasivity are progressively reducing movement. Additionally, robotic platform diffusion, single-port access, extraperitoneal approaches, digital endourology, and lasers improvements are changing scenarios in cancers and in stone management.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence will provide information and integrate surgical procedures and therapy planning. Moreover, quality of life, precise surgical patient selection, and early recovery have similarly gained popularity in clinical practice, with a renewed focus on personalized and tailored interventions to reduce morbidity and improve quality of life. Finally, new insights derived from newer systemic therapies and stereotactic treatment are completing our understanding of surgical procedures to provide multimodal approaches in different clinical scenarios.
This Special Issue, entitled "Personalized Urologic Surgery: Innovation and Strategies", presents an up-to-date platform to underline the relevance of patient-centered personalized management from a preoperative to intraoperative and postoperative point of view. Original research and reviews are welcome.
