Advances in Surgery reviews the year’s most important findings and updates within the field in order to provide surgeons with the current clinical information they need to improve patient outcomes. A distinguished editorial board, led by Dr. John L. Cameron, identifies key areas of major progress and controversy and invites preeminent specialists to contribute original articles devoted to these topics. These insightful overviews in surgery inform and enhance clinical practice by bringing concepts to a clinical level and exploring their everyday impact on patient care.
