Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 1985, Erich Muhe performed the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Since then, we have witnessed a terrific development and spread of technology in the field of surgery. Laparoscopy was just the beginning of a technological revolution now ranging from different surgical minimally invasive techniques to endoscopic and radiology-assisted procedures. Moreover, the boost toward subspecializations has initiated a process where multidisciplinary approaches have become of paramount importance in patient management. As such, technology not only plays a major role (e.g., the application of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), ultrasonography and fluorangiography in gastroenterological surgery), but is also part of a strategy including the new concepts of “precision medicine” and “precision surgery” and the recent studies on artificial intelligence.
The Editorial Office of Journal of Clinical Medicine believes that research on advances in the field of gastroenterological surgery represent a great opportunity to improve modern knowledge in a wide spectrum of pathologies, both in elective and emergency surgery.
To facilitate discussion on this topic, the Journal of Clinical Medicine calls for papers for a thematic issue on advances in gastroenterological surgery to be guest-edited by Alan Biloslavo, MD, FACS and Antonio La Greca, MD, FACS. We are seeking submissions of original research that discusses the introduction or the use of new technologies and attitudes in the field of gastroenterological surgery, both in elective and emergency settings.
Dr. Alan Biloslavo
