Special Issue on Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery refers to the surgery that uses various medical technologies to operate with less injury to the body than with open surgery. The advantages of minimally invasive surgery include smaller incisions, less tissue dissection, less damage to surrounding muscles, potential for less blood loss and quicker return to daily activities.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Minimally Invasive Surgery. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Angioplasty
• Brachytherapy
• Dental implant
• Image-guided surgery
• Laparoscopic surgery
• Microsurgery
• Positron emission tomography
• Radiosurgery
• Robotic surgery

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Minimally Invasive Surgery” should be selected during your submission.
