Tracheobronchoplasty

This special series on Tracheobronchoplasty was co-edited by Dr. Charles T. Bakhos and Dr. Abbas E. Abbas, from Thoracic Medicine and Surgery, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

International Perspectives on Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Revascularization (Ongoing)

This special series on International Perspectives on Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Revascularization is co-edited by Dr. Johan van der Merwe, from Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital, Sunningdale, South Africa, and Dr. Filip P. Casselman, from OLV Clinic, Aalst, Belgium.

Alternative Surgical Approaches for Challenging Cases in Thoracic Surgery

In the last decade, thoracic surgery has rapidly moved forward to new approaches. The introduction and diffusion of VATS lobectomy represents a watershed and now this technique represents the gold standard for pulmonary resection. Progressively, the indication for a minimally invasive approach moved from initial stage pulmonary disease to more advanced ones, with resection extended to other organs, invading fields generally considered reserved to open approaches. Concurrently, new approaches emerged as robotic surgery, no more limited to the mediastinal pathology.

Innovations in Robotic VATS and Bronchochoscopic Procedures (Ongoing)

This special series on Innovations in Robotic VATS and Bronchochoscopic Procedures is co-edited by Dr. Hiran C. Fernando, from Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pa, USA; and Dr. John F. Lazar, from Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC, USA.

AME entered an official partnership with Publons to enhance wide-ranging recognition for reviewers
