Surgery is a multidisciplinary field and a core pillar of modern healthcare, continually evolving through technological innovation. Recent breakthroughs in robotic and computer-assisted surgery, artificial intelligence, digital health technologies, advanced imaging, and personalized surgical approaches are transforming how procedures are planned, performed and monitored. These advances reduce invasiveness, accelerate recovery and expand treatment possibilities for patients worldwide.

MDPI’s journal cluster of surgery has a mission to publish the latest developments across the surgical spectrum, from fundamental research and technological innovation to clinical applications and outcomes studies. By connecting journals that address diverse surgical disciplines, MDPI’s journal cluster of surgery will promote the exchange of knowledge, multidisciplinary collaborations and the dissemination of impactful discoveries.
