    Aims and Scope

    Close

    The birth of the Journal of Robotic Surgery is perfectly timed as the field of robotics has evolved past its infancy and has proven itself to be a useful and lasting innovation. The use of robotics in surgery is now broad-based across multiple surgical specialties and will undoubtedly expand over the next decades as new technical innovation and techniques increase the applicability of its use.

    Currently, there is unprecedented enthusiasm worldwide for the application of robotics in surgery. However, there does seem to be a void in literary resources supporting the growth of this new field of surgery. Robotic articles are published in a variety of broad surgical journals, but none is seen as the leading resource for robotic surgical education.

    The aim of the Journal is to become the leading worldwide journal for publications of articles related to robotic surgery, encompassing surgical simulation and integrated imaging techniques. The journal provides a centralized, focused resource for physicians wishing to publish their experience or those wishing to educate themselves of the most up to date findings.

    The scope includes:

    Adult and pediatric urology: prostate cancer, bladder cancer, renal cancer, pyeloplasty, bladder reconstruction

    General surgery: esophageal, gastric, bariatric, liver, pancreatic, colon

    Cardiac: bypass, valves, anomalies

    Gynecology: perinatal, oncologic (ovarian, uterine) , benign (myomas, bladder suspension)

    ENT: cancer

    Orthopedics: reconstruction

    Neurosurgery: spine, brain
