Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled ‘Recent Advances on Reconstructive Urology and Prosthetic Surgery’, which is to be published in JCM/Urology. This challenging project will include a collection of up-to-date reviews and original research articles covering both current topics and recent innovations in three fields of urologic reconstruction: (1) lower urinary tract reconstruction using traditional, open procedures or minimally invasive techniques to treat lower urinary tract problems resulting from trauma and pelvic cancer treatment strategies; (2) the diagnosis and surgical management of male sexual health problems; and (3) gender-affirming surgical reconstruction including still unresolved technical challenges and psychological issues.
