Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the surgical management of colorectal cancer, highlighting critical aspects of surgical development. It aims to present the latest research on colorectal cancer surgery and its practical applications, offering insights that are able to enhance patient care pathways.
In recent years, there have been significant advancements in the field of surgical treatment for colorectal cancer. Minimally invasive approaches, such as laparoscopic, robotic, and single-port surgeries, have gained prominence. Moreover, the utilization of NIR cameras for image-guided surgery has been steadily increasing. The continuous development of surgical equipment and surgical techniques has contributed to the refinement of colorectal cancer surgery.
Of particular note is the potential capacity of these advancements in surgical and imaging technologies to bridge the gap in surgical outcomes attributed to differences in surgeons' experience. This progress has the capacity to empower less-experienced surgeons, enabling them to perform safer procedures and navigate their learning more effectively.
Furthermore, the recent expansion of real-time surgical information analysis through artificial intelligence is ushering in a new era, in which a wealth of information can be seamlessly provided to surgeons during procedures. These breakthroughs in surgical techniques exhibit potential regarding their ability to reduce complications in colorectal cancer surgeries, thus enhancing procedural safety and potentially improving long-term disease-free survival rates for cancer patients.
