About this Research Topic
Colorectal surgery encompasses the diagnosis and management of disorders of the lower gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and secondary organs. Our knowledge on both benign and malignant diseases is constantly evolving and the complexity of many disorders in the lower gastrointestinal tract warrants a multidisciplinary approach to achieve the best possible outcome for our patients.
Keeping with an evolving field with regard to advancements in diagnosis, management and follow-up is of paramount importance in providing up to date patient care. This implies that there is need of a continuous update of medical literature. It is therefore our belief, that care providers in every discipline should contribute to maintaining and updating the medical literature in their respective field of expertise. Contributing to medical literature is the first step in creating medical evidence. This, in our eyes, should not be a privilege reserved for selected experts. With this in mind, we are inviting you to participate in the upcoming special issue on “colorectal surgery”.
This special issue will focus on multidisciplinary diagnosis, management and follow-up of premalignant and malignant diseases of the colon, anorectum and related fields (ostomy, liver metastasis, peritoneal metastasis – CRS/HIPEC, etc.). We will consider the following article types, but will not be limited to:
-Original articles
-Systematic reviews
-Narrative reviews based on extensive literature review
-Experimental studies
-Conference reports and expert opinions
Case reports will not be considered.
