Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has emerged as a transformative approach in the treatment of urological cancers. This Special Issue delves into the innovative techniques and outcomes associated with MIS in urological oncology. MIS, including laparoscopy and robotic-assisted procedures, offers numerous advantages such as reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgeries. The articles in this Special Issue explore the application of MIS in the management of various urological cancers, including prostate, kidney, bladder, and testicular cancers. Additionally, they investigate the long-term oncological outcomes, patient quality of life, and cost-effectiveness of MIS. By showcasing the latest research and clinical experiences, this Special Issue aims to advance our understanding of the role of MIS in improving patient outcomes and reshaping the landscape of urological cancer treatment.
