Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a great honor to serve as the Guest Editors for this Special Issue of Children entitled “Developing Pediatric Surgery: Innovation and Challenges”.
Pediatric surgery has evolved significantly over the past decades, with advancements improving prognosis and quality of life of children requiring surgical interventions. The history of this specialty is marked by continuous innovation, from the development of minimally invasive techniques to the integration of advanced imaging and robotic assistance.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the latest breakthroughs and ongoing research that are transforming pediatric surgical care. This Special Issue will encompass a wide scope, including new surgical techniques, perioperative care, and the long-term outcomes of pediatric patients.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to foster collaboration, inspire innovation, and ultimately improve surgical care for children worldwide.
We are particularly interested in cutting-edge research that explores novel approaches in pediatric surgery and we are soliciting contributions from pediatric surgeons and any other scholars who produce original research articles on pediatric surgical pathology (prospective or retrospective studies), experimental studies, systemic reviews and meta-analyses, or new diagnostic or surgical techniques that contribute to the body of knowledge in pediatric surgical health.
