Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Visceral and gastrointestinal surgery is a primary treatment option for oncological diseases in the abdominal cavity, as is bariatric and visceral reconstructive surgery. Recently, this field has seen significant advancements, with progress in methods reaching a very high level. The rapid emergence of new devices and techniques can sometimes be overwhelming. The advancements in minimally invasive robotic surgery, the use of lasers, the application of single-port instruments, and the assistance of AI in treatment processes are all areas that require in-depth research. New scientific studies are underway, and better treatment combinations are being explored.
This Special Issue aims to discuss advanced treatment methods and disseminate the latest research on developing and introducing new devices and techniques for colorectal cancer treatment. We welcome submissions of original articles, clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
Dr. Saulius Svagzdys
Guest Editor
