Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a privilege for me to announce a Special Issue dedicated to the perioperative management and outcome of general and abdominal surgery. Not only good technical skills and a perfect operation are enough for a good outcome, but also good perioperative care for our patients.
Perioperative management represents the practice of patient-centered, multidisciplinary, and integrated medical care for patients, starting from the moment of surgery planning and reaching the moment of discharge. It includes a set of therapeutic measures administered in such a way as to improve the general health and status of the patient, lower the anxiety of the patient, prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, prevent surgical site infection, ensure or even speed a good recovery for the patient, enhance their well-being, and shorten the length of their hospital stay. There is so-called traditional perioperative care that was considered the standard of care for many years until 1990, when the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery was born, followed by specific guidelines for many general and abdominal surgery subspecialties (colorectal, upper GI, pancreatic etc.). However, there is still room for improvement, as many items of the pre-, intra-, and post-operative recommendations have low and moderate quality of evidence. The focus of this Special Issue is on every aspect of perioperative care and how it may influence the outcome.
Any submission, such as reviews or original articles on the aforementioned aspects, is welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Valeriu Surlin
