Aims and Scope

The Open Journal of Surgery and Surgical Research (OJSSR) is dedicated to advancing knowledge and fostering innovation in the field of surgery and surgical sciences. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive platform for the dissemination of original research, case studies, reviews, and technical reports covering all areas of surgery and its allied disciplines. We seek to enhance the understanding and practice of surgery worldwide by promoting rigorous, evidence-based research that addresses current challenges and explores future directions in surgical care.

Scope

The OJSSR welcomes contributions in, but not limited to, the following areas:

  • General and Specialized Surgery: Studies on general surgery as well as specialized fields such as cardiovascular, neurosurgery, thoracic, gastrointestinal, orthopedic, plastic, and reconstructive surgery.

  • Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery: Research on advancements in minimally invasive techniques, robotic surgeries, and laparoscopic innovations that improve patient outcomes.

  • Surgical Oncology: Articles on new techniques and therapies in surgical oncology, including multimodal treatments, tumor resection methods, and perioperative management.

  • Trauma and Emergency Surgery: Insights into trauma surgery, critical care in emergency settings, and innovative approaches in acute surgical interventions.

  • Pediatric Surgery: Exploration of challenges and advancements in pediatric surgical procedures and postoperative care.

  • Transplant Surgery and Organ Transplantation: Research and case studies focusing on organ transplantation techniques, immunosuppressive therapies, and transplant ethics.

  • Surgical Education and Training: Evaluations of surgical education methods, training innovations, simulation-based learning, and skill assessments to support the development of future surgeons.

  • Perioperative and Postoperative Care: Studies addressing preoperative assessments, intraoperative care techniques, and postoperative recovery to optimize patient safety and outcomes.

  • Surgical Ethics and Policy: Examination of ethical issues, healthcare policy, and regulatory considerations that impact surgical practice and research.

Allied Surgical Disciplines

To support a holistic view of surgery, OJSSR also accepts submissions in related fields, including:

  • Anesthesia and Pain Management
  • Radiology and Imaging in Surgery
  • Pathology in Surgical Diagnosis
  • Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy in Post-Surgical Care
  • Nursing and Patient Care in Surgical Settings

By fostering a multidisciplinary approach, OJSSR aims to bridge gaps between surgical specialties and allied sciences, supporting an integrated understanding of patient care and innovation in surgery. We encourage contributions from surgeons, researchers, allied health professionals, and policymakers worldwide to promote collaborative, impactful surgical research.
