Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of spinal surgery is currently experiencing a revolutionary transformation, largely driven by the integration of advanced technologies such as spinal endoscopy, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Among these advances, spinal endoscopy has emerged as a particularly impactful technique, offering minimally invasive solutions that significantly improve patient outcomes and reduce recovery times.
In addition to the advancements in endoscopic techniques, the incorporation of robotics and AI is further expanding the boundaries of what is possible in spinal surgery. These technologies are enabling more precise, personalized, and effective interventions, reshaping the landscape of spinal care.
This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring these cutting-edge technologies, with a focus on their clinical applications and the biomechanical insights they provide. We aim to present research and innovations that not only enhance our understanding of spinal biomechanics but also drive the future of spine surgery towards safer, more effective, and more patient-centered care.

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.
