Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue dedicated to endoscopic surgery in gastroenterology, a rapidly growing field with a significant impact on modern clinical practice.
This issue aims to compile original research and reviews from specialists in interventional gastroenterology, surgeons with expertise in therapeutic endoscopy, and radiologists involved in radiologically guided gastroenterological procedures. Our goal is to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue that highlights the latest technological innovations, including the integration of robotic systems and AI applications in gastroenterology. These advancements offer new insights into endoscopic imaging analysis, the guidance of complex procedures, personalized treatment approaches, and improved clinical outcomes. We invite authors to submit articles on advanced endoscopic resection techniques, hybrid endoscopic–surgical procedures, radiological techniques in digestive interventions, the use of AI and robotics in interventional gastroenterology, and perspectives on the future of minimally invasive surgery. Through this thematic issue, we seek to strengthen cross-disciplinary collaboration and provide an up-to-date overview of the fast-paced progress in endoscopic surgery within gastroenterology.
We look forward to your contributions and ideas as we establish an academic reference resource in the field.
