Advancements in Minimally Invasive Urological Surgery and Endourology

Dear Colleagues,

The past 15 years have seen tremendous advancement in the field of urinary and male genital system surgery. The miniaturization of surgical devices, the introduction of the Da-Vinci robotic system as well as the recruitment of holmium/neodymium lasers for the improvement of surgical outcomes have all led to a significant increase in surgical volumes in general and in organ-preserving surgeries in particular. Thanks to a parallel advancement in the anesthesiology field, cases considered for conservative treatment in the past are now eligible for surgical treatment if they meet the appropriate indications. This Special Issue of Journal of Personalized Medicine will focus on advancements in minimally invasive urological surgery and endourology. Authors are welcome to submit their original research and review articles on laparoscopic and robotic surgery of the prostate, kidney, ureter and urinary bladder, as well as the surgical treatment of nephrolithiasis and benign prostatic enlargement.
