Super-minimally invasive surgery (SMIS) represents the next frontier in surgical oncology. This innovative approach addresses the critical need for organ preservation while effectively removing tumor lesions, offering new possibilities in otolaryngology, general surgery, gynecology, neurosurgery, and urology. Traditional surgical methods often compromise organ integrity, leading to significant postoperative morbidity. However, SMIS leverages advanced endoscopic techniques and cutting-edge imaging technologies to achieve precise tumor resection with minimal collateral damage. The ongoing advancements in SMIS across different surgical disciplines hold the potential to revolutionize patient outcomes, making it a pivotal area of exploration in the field.

This Research Topic aims to compile comprehensive research and clinical experiences that showcase the efficacy and safety of SMIS in preserving organs and functions during tumor resection. The primary objective is to address challenges and identify opportunities in implementing SMIS across diverse surgical fields. By providing a platform for cutting-edge research, we aim to highlight the benefits and limitations of this approach, fostering a multidisciplinary dialogue to drive innovation and improve patient care in surgical oncology.

To gather further insights into the application of SMIS and its impact on patient care, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Tumor resection in operable cancers across multiple disciplines, including digestive system tumors (e.g., gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary), general surgery, gynecology, otolaryngology, and urology.
• Super-minimally invasive surgeries focusing on innovative endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches for organ preservation and tumor removal.
• The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing precision and outcomes in organ-preserving surgeries, including AI-assisted diagnostics, surgical planning, and intraoperative guidance.
• Development and application of regenerative materials in organ-preserving surgeries, such as bioengineered scaffolds and tissue regeneration technologies.
• Smart surgical systems and technologies, including robotics, advanced imaging, and real-time monitoring tools, that support organ-preserving surgical procedures.
