Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, emergency surgery represents a critical continuum of care that begins in the prehospital setting and extends through early in-hospital management, where timely clinical decisions directly impact patient survival and functional outcomes. In recent years, increasing attention has been directed toward evaluating early management strategies and traditional practices using contemporary clinical data.
This Special Issue aims to present high-quality clinical research that advances the understanding of emergency surgical care across the early phases of patient management. Particular emphasis will be placed on studies examining prehospital assessment, triage, and initial interventions, and how these factors influence surgical decision-making, in-hospital management, and short- and long-term clinical outcomes.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following: emergency and acute care surgery; trauma and non-traumatic emergencies requiring surgical intervention; prehospital clinical assessment and early decision-making; timing of surgical interventions; risk stratification and outcome prediction; complications, functional recovery, and long-term outcomes following emergency surgery; and the evaluation of established clinical practices using real-world data, multicenter studies, and clinical registries.
