General Surgery Case Reports & Reviews is a dedicated specialty collection within Case Reports and Reviews: Open Access that publishes peer-reviewed case reports, case series, clinical images, review articles, and original research covering general surgery and related surgical specialties. The collection provides an international platform for sharing clinically significant cases, innovative operative approaches, diagnostic challenges, and evidence-based management strategies that contribute to the advancement of surgical practice.
General surgery encompasses the diagnosis, operative management, and perioperative care of a broad spectrum of conditions involving the gastrointestinal tract, abdominal wall, soft tissues, endocrine organs, trauma, and surgical emergencies. Articles published in this collection highlight uncommon disease presentations, complex clinical decision-making, novel surgical techniques, minimally invasive procedures, postoperative management, and patient outcomes across contemporary surgical practice.
Case reports continue to play an essential role in surgical education by documenting rare pathological conditions, unusual anatomical variations, unexpected intraoperative findings, and uncommon postoperative complications. These reports provide valuable learning opportunities by demonstrating clinical reasoning, imaging interpretation, operative planning, multidisciplinary collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making in challenging surgical cases encountered in everyday practice.
The collection also showcases advances in laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary surgery, colorectal surgery, abdominal wall reconstruction, endocrine surgery, trauma surgery, vascular access procedures, and perioperative care. Many published articles reflect collaboration between surgeons, anaesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, oncologists, and critical care specialists, highlighting the multidisciplinary approach required for optimal patient care.
Articles are organised within this collection to improve discoverability and help surgeons, surgical trainees, researchers, and healthcare professionals quickly locate clinically relevant cases and educational resources within their areas of interest. We welcome submissions from authors worldwide that present meaningful clinical experiences, innovative surgical management, and evidence that supports safer, more effective surgical practice.
