Editorial

Dear “Videosurgery and Other Miniinvasive Techniques” Friends,

The new year means new decisions and plans. We believe that 2020 will be just as good for “Videosurgery and Other Miniinvasive Techniques” as the previous one. We receive a lot of papers from around the world. Unfortunately, not all of them can be accepted for publication. However, we always try our best to help to improve the manuscript, and only when it has no chance to meet the strict acceptance criteria do we send it to other journals. Let this edition be proof of our popularity. You will find as many as 33 papers in it, touching on the whole range of “Videosurgery and Other Miniinvasive Techniques” interests. For the first time we have created a separate “robotic surgery” section. Four articles deal with problems of minimally invasive colorectal surgery. As many as 5 papers address issues of bariatric treatment results after sleeve gastrectomy. Urologists, cardiac surgeons and pediatric surgeons should also find something of interest. We believe that the manuscripts selected by the editors and reviewers will be noticed in the scientific world and in the future will be cited in other papers, which will affect our indicators of scientific significance. I would like to remind you about our competition for the best meta-analysis. There are still 2 months left – all relevant information can be found on our website: http://videosurgeryjournal.com.

And for the upcoming year, I wish you nothing but success in the field of surgery and science.
