Special Issue on Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic Surgery also referred to as minimally invasive surgery describes the performance of surgical procedures with the assistance of a video camera and several thin instruments. During the surgical procedure, small incisions of up to half an inch are made and plastic tubes called ports are placed through these incisions. The camera and the instruments are then introduced through the ports which allow access to the inside of the patient.

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

• General surgery
• Pediatric surgery
• Urological procedures
• Gynecology
• Laparoscopic technology
• Laparoscopic operative managements
• Laparoscopic complications

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

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