The International Journal of Surgery is dedicated to the global advancement of surgical research, education and clinical practice. It aims to promote continued developments in surgery through the sharing of knowledge and ideas across all surgical specialties. The International Journal of Surgery is of great clinical importance to all surgeons as it provides readers with critically reviewed, carefully selected and up to date publications about advances in the field of surgery. The journal aims to develop and uphold standards in research, provide a focus for evidence-based medicine and an opportunity for the critical appraisal of cutting-edge original research. As a general surgical journal covering all specialities, the International Journal of Surgery aims to facilitate the transfer of important ideas and lines of thought between surgical specialities. In this way the journal will help prevent the trend of increasing sub-specialisation leading to ‘tunnel-vision’ and the sequestration of important surgical advances within particular specialties. The Journal also aims to provide a broad knowledge base for its readers by including review articles on topical subjects and sections on the humanities for the liberal education of all surgeons whatever their specialty. The journal will be published monthly and will contain high quality original research papers, editorials and review articles as well as a forum for the exchange of ideas through our correspondence section.
