Editorial

Dear Friends,

We are starting another year of our activity, unfortunately in difficult geopolitical conditions due to the military conflict in Ukraine. We pay tribute to all the doctors, and in particular to the surgeons working on endless emergency duty on the war front. This is a real test of their vocation and skills. We believe that they soon will cast aside their military uniforms and return to normal life so that they can appear again at scientific meetings, conferences and in the pages of “Videosurgery and Other Miniinvasive Techniques”.
And this issue, as usual, is rich in scientifically strong publications from around the world. As usual, we’ve filled up our “Meta-analyses in surgery” section. In addition, we have as many as 9 original publications in general surgery. I strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with their content.
And last year, from a scientific point of view, was very positive for “Videosurgery and Other Miniinvasive Techniques”. We have maintained our standing in the world of medical science as measured by various impact factors. Our CiteScore index has increased to 2.5 and our IF should not be worse than last year. It is all thanks to the engagement of our authors, who send more and more important articles to us for publication. Remember that we are always happy to support authors in improving their papers, even if the original version has some shortcomings. We invite everyone who wants to announce the results of their scientific endeavors in an international journal to submit their works! Wishing you nothing but success, joy and health in the new year, we are waiting for your valuable submissions.

Kindest regards,
Prof. Jacek Szeliga
“Videosurgery and Other Miniinvasive techniques”
Editor in Chief
