BMC Urology is calling for submissions to our Collection, Robotic reconstructive surgery in urology.
Reconstructive urology represents a pivotal component of modern urological practice, focusing on the restoration of normal urinary function in patients who have undergone surgical interventions, suffered from traumatic injuries, or experienced congenital anomalies. The ability to restore normal urinary function, enhance continence, and minimize complications has a profound impact on patients' well-being and their ability to lead fulfilling lives.
The interdisciplinary nature of this research is transforming the landscape of urology and surgery. Collaborations between urologists, engineers, regenerative medicine experts, and materials scientists have led to groundbreaking innovations. These innovations include the development of bioengineered urinary tissues, precision robotic-assisted procedures, and the utilization of biocompatible materials for reconstructive purposes. These collaborative efforts have not only revolutionized surgical techniques but have also expanded our understanding of tissue regeneration, biomechanics, and bioinformatics.
This Collection will showcase research exploring reconstructive urology, including but not limited to:
- Robotic and minimally invasive approaches
- Reconstructive microsurgery
- Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
- Innovative materials and implants
- Pediatric reconstructive urology
- Functional outcomes and quality of life
- Complications and management
- Patient-centered care
This collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Well-Being
