Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pediatric trauma surgery has evolved significantly over recent decades, shaped by advances in diagnostics, surgical techniques, and multidisciplinary care. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current practices while highlighting emerging trends and innovations in the management of pediatric trauma. We particularly focus on cutting-edge research that addresses both surgical and non-surgical strategies, long-term outcomes, and quality-of-life considerations. We invite original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that explore novel approaches, evaluate current treatment protocols, or propose future directions to optimize care for injured children.
