New Possibilities of Using Minimally Invasive Surgery in the Treatment of Gynecological Lesions

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to share your knowledge on the application of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques in the field of gynecological oncology and pelvic pathology. The application of MIS techniques in the treatment of gynecological tumors allows for the radical and precise removal of lesions and simultaneous reductions in side effects and complications associated with surgical treatment. The possibilities of modern MIS treatment in gynecology currently include both laparoscopy and robot-assisted techniques. Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery has effectively addressed several challenges associated with traditional approaches. These challenges include a limited range of surgical movement and unfavorable ergonomics for both the surgeon and bedside assistant. Moreover, surgeon competency typically requires extensive training and involves a steep learning curve. However, the advent of robot-assisted techniques has significantly mitigated these issues. This innovative approach offers a stable, magnified three-dimensional view; it also effectively filters tremors and enables motion scaling. Additionally, the use of articulated or wristed instruments provides a greater degree of movement, thereby facilitating precise tissue dissection and suturing. Overall, robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery has prompted remarkable progress in our collective mission to overcome the aforementioned challenges and revolutionize the field of surgical procedures. The aim of this Special Issue is to collate original papers, review articles, and commentaries on the application of MIS in the field of gynecological oncology and pelvic pathology.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs).
