Greetings from Editor in Chief, Surgical Case Reports
Surgical Case Reports is an online journal that was launched in 2015 and is the official English journal of the Japan Surgical Society. This open access, peer-reviewed journal will consider any original case reports in the fields of gastroenterological surgery, cardiovascular surgery, thoracic surgery, breast and endocrine surgery, pediatric surgery, transplant surgery and acute care surgery.
Recently, the number of submissions and publications from Japan and overseas has increased rapidly, establishing the value of the journal as an international journal.
The purpose of the journal is to contribute to the progress of surgery by providing clinicians and researchers with an educational forum in which to disseminate their personal experience and novel treatments to a wide readership and by reviewing interesting, rare cases encountered by colleagues all over the world.
Case reports should be relevant to practical and scientific aspects of surgery and be presented as concisely as possible. Common cases are welcome, as long as they are educationally valuable and provide new learning opportunities for our readership.
It is a journal aimed especially at young surgeons, and the number of submitted papers is increasing year by year. We look forward to the submission of your valuable case reports.
Sincerely,
Masafumi Inomata
