Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Cutting-Edge Laparoscopic and Thoracoscopic Surgery in Children" explores the latest advancements in surgical techniques designed to reduce trauma and improve recovery outcomes in young patients. Topics include cutting-edge laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures and innovative tools. By highlighting basic science, clinical studies, and systematic reviews, this issue aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the efficacy, safety, and future directions of minimally invasive surgery in neonates and children, ultimately enhancing pediatric surgical care.
We invite submissions that cover any aspects of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and thoracoscopic surgery in children. We look forward to receiving innovative contributions that will help shape the future of pediatric laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery.
Prof. Dr. Michael Boettcher
