Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am very proud to announce the launch of the next Special Issue of Applied Sciences, which will will focus on the subject of “Application of New Surgical Techniques in Small Animal Surgery”. I therefore invite all researchers and clinicians working in related fields to submit scientific articles on this topic.
The journal Applied Sciences is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal focusing on all aspects of applied natural sciences published semimonthly online by MDPI with an IF of 2.7 (2022)
New surgical techniques are constantly being developed to improve the safety, efficacy, and minimally invasive nature of surgical procedures in small animals. The advancement of small surgery is nowadays supported across four vectors: surgical planning, less invasive/new surgical techniques, use of new surgical devices/biomaterials, and decreasing surgical complications
The decrease in surgical complications is strictly related to the use of new technologies in surgery due to the less invasive nature of the procedures, the progressive atraumatic handling of tissues, meticulous hemostasis provided, and the reduction in surgical duration, which also decreases postoperative infection rates. It is agreed among the veterinary surgical community that new surgical techniques contribute to better outcomes in small animal surgery. As such, their use is becoming widespread.
The incorporation of surgical state-of-the-art technology has had a profound impact on the field of veterinary surgery, allowing surgeons to treat a wider range of conditions with greater precision and reduced recovery times for their patients.
This Special Issue will publish both original research articles and reviews. Research include (but are not limited to) the following topics: case reports or case series using innovative techniques; peri- and intraoperative therapies and procedures to enhance outcomes; new surgical techniques and instruments; use of new biomaterials and devices, and complication management using new techniques.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
