Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the years, laparoscopic surgery has evolved due to the numerous technological innovations that have paved the way for new therapeutic approaches. Minimally invasive surgery is the standard approach for several abdominal procedures (hernias, appendicitis, acute cholecystitis, colorectal cancer, and gynecological surgery). Surgical innovations in laparoscopic surgery have radically changed the methods of treating abdominal pathologies.
Laparoscopic surgery has widely extended its applications with the development of different materials, miniaturized instruments, and robotic-assisted surgery and has been adopted in several countries as the golden standard for abdominal surgery. Robotics may offer technological and ergonomic benefits that overcome the limitations associated with conventional laparoscopy. In addition, the development of laparoscopic procedures TAPP (transabdominal preperitoneal) and TEP (totally extraperitoneal), laparoscopic hysterectomy, colectomy, appendectomy, and cholecystectomy have allowed us to offer the advantages of a minimally invasive approach, such as laparoscopy, to our patients. In this Special Issue, we would like to move this field forward by inviting original clinical and basic research articles, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews focused on new advances in laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to address recent developments in laparoscopic surgical procedures and new technological advances in abdominal surgery. We look forward to receiving your submissions and to advancing the field of laparoscopic surgery.
