New Insights into Abdominal Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

“New Insights into Abdominal Surgery” serves as a platform to consolidate recent advancements and address pivotal challenges in the fields of acute care, trauma, and artificial intelligence in surgery. This Special Issue aims to encapsulate the evolving landscape of abdominal emergency surgery by highlighting the current research status and identifying the core issues that demand our attention. By delving into innovative techniques, emerging technologies, and novel therapeutic approaches, this Special Issue seeks to enhance patient outcomes and surgical practices. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses diverse aspects of abdominal surgery, including, without being limited to, trauma and acute care surgery, minimally invasive surgery in emergency settings, and pre/post-operative care strategies. Furthermore, it encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange between surgeons and other specialists, such as radiologists, dieticians, and infectiologists, to cover the relationship between the outcomes of surgery and multiple pre-operative variables. Moreover, we would like to address the enhanced identification of acute-care surgical patients at risk of sepsis. Accordingly, this Special Issue endeavors to catalyze transformative breakthroughs, optimize surgical outcomes, and, ultimately, improve the quality of patient care in abdominal surgery.
