Surgery Journal

Surgery Journal Global Surgery (GOS) is a bimonthly open access journal with a comprehensive peer review policy, and a rapid publication process. GOS features the very best in clinical and laboratorybased research on all aspects of surgical procedures and interventions. Patient care around the peri-operative period and patient outcomes post surgery are key topics for the journal. We welcome contributions that can demonstrate near-term practical usefulness, particularly contributions that take a multidisciplinary / convergent approach because many real world problems are complex in nature. Contributions regarding patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, and their role in optimizing new surgical procedures will be welcomed. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of case reports, clinical studies, reviews and original research, and more - all offering significant contributions to knowledge in clinical surgery, experimental surgery, surgical education and history. The journal aims to promote publications from surgery faculty members who are otherwise unable to access other journals. Most importantly, those from countries or regions that have few resources to provide surgical care now have a forum to publish their approaches, research, and dilemmas in patient management -- specifically within surgical fields -- through clinical care, research, and education.
