Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diagnostics (ISSN 2075-4418; CODEN: DIAGC9) is an international peer-reviewed open access journal on medical diagnosis, published monthly online by MDPI. Diagnostics has a Journal Impact Factor of 3.6 in the Journal Citation Reports, and ranks Q2 among all titles in the 'Medicine, General & Internal' category. I happily accepted being a Guest Editor for the Special Issue “Abdominal Diseases: Diagnosis, Treatment and Management” of this valuable journal, which is planned for the rest of the year of 2023, and I invite all of you to offer your scientific contributions in abdominal surgery.
Abdominal surgical conditions often raise challenging diagnostic, therapeutic and management issues. The surgeon is often faced with difficult decision-making situations, especially in emergency conditions. Imagistic methods are very useful in diagnostic guidance, and are often an important part of image-guided surgery/treatment. Minimally invasive techniques occupy an important aspect, being preferred whenever possible. Laparoscopy is the first choice in most cases. Our defined scope of the topic for this Special Issue is to establish modern management protocols in the diagnosis, treatment and management of abdominal surgical diseases.
Dr. Bogdan Socea
Guest Editor
