Frontiers in Surgery

期刊简介：Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.

【译文】证据表明，外科手术可以追溯到史前时期。从那时起，外科领域已经发展成为一个复杂的专科和程序集合，尤其是在显微外科、激光和微创技术的出现之后。现在对外科医生所需的高级技能导致了不断增长的专业化，尽管这些专业仍然共享重要的基本原理。Frontiers in Surgery是一本涵盖所有外科专科出版兴趣的期刊。它分为以下几个“专科部分”，如下所示。所有这些部分都有自己的专科主编、编委会和主页，但所有文章都带有Frontiers in Surgery的引用。Frontiers in Surgery呼吁所有外科专科的医学专业人士和科学家在该期刊上发表他们的实验和临床研究。通过将所有外科专科（尽管它们仍然保持独立）汇集在Frontiers in Surgery的共同伞下，创造了一个强大的出版场所。由于不同外科专科之间往往存在重叠和共同点，将所有外科学科汇集到一个期刊中将在外科社区中促进协作对话。这意味着对其他外科专科也感兴趣的作品将触及更广泛的受众并产生更大的影响。这本多学科期刊的目的是创建一个讨论和知识平台，以展示当今外科实践中的最新进展和研究发现，以不断改善患者的临床管理并促进该领域的创新。
