Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to our Special Issue on "Endoscopic Techniques in Digestive and Gynecological Diseases". This compilation delves into new medical innovations, exploring the instrumental role of endoscopy in revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the digestive and gynecological systems. Gastroenterology's arsenal boasts procedures such as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, colonoscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound, offering precise visualization and targeted interventions. Simultaneously, gynecology harnesses the power of hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and specialized imaging techniques to address a spectrum of female reproductive health challenges. This collection unveils the latest advancements, breakthroughs, and multidisciplinary approaches that illuminate the path toward enhanced patient outcomes, underscoring the pivotal role of endoscopic techniques in shaping the future of medical practice for digestive and gynecological ailments. Please submit your manuscript to this Special Issue, where cutting-edge research converges with clinical excellence to redefine the standards of care in these dynamic medical domains.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Artificial intelligence has yielded remarkably promising results in several medical fields, namely those with a strong imaging component. Gynecology relies heavily on imaging since it offers useful visual data on the female reproductive system, leading to a deeper understanding of pathophysiological concepts. The applicability of artificial intelligence technologies has not been as noticeable in gynecologic imaging as in other medical fields so far. However, due to growing interest in this area, some studies have been performed with exciting results. From urogynecology to oncology, artificial intelligence algorithms, particularly machine learning and deep learning, have shown huge potential to revolutionize the overall healthcare experience for women’s reproductive health. In this review, we aim to establish the current status of AI in gynecology, the upcoming developments in this area, and discuss the challenges facing its clinical implementation, namely the technological and ethical concerns for technology development, implementation, and accountability.
