Aims & Scope

Journal of Robotic Surgery (JORS) is a peer-reviewed publication dedicated to advancing the field of robotic surgery through the dissemination of cutting-edge research, technological developments, and clinical innovations. The journal serves as the leading platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas among researchers, surgeons, engineers, and healthcare professionals in the field of robotic surgery. Publications report on innovative equipment and new procedures in the field, and explore fine motor control, three-dimensional magnified imaging and articulated instruments, with an aim to expand the reach and applicability of minimally invasive surgery through technological advancements. We welcome diverse types of articles, including original research papers, clinical studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, as well as technical notes. We also encourage submissions that present novel insights, evidence-based findings, and advancements in the field.
