Journal Title：Frontiers In Surgery

Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.

Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.

Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.

The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.

外科手术的证据可以追溯到史前时代。从那时起，外科领域已经发展成为一系列复杂的专业和程序，特别是随着显微外科、激光和微创技术的出现。外科医生现在需要的高级技能导致专业化程度不断提高，尽管这些仍然具有重要的基本原则。

Frontiers in Surgery 是代表所有外科专业的出版兴趣的总括期刊。它分为下面列出的几个“专业部分”。所有这些版块都有自己的专业主编、编委和主页，但所有文章都带有引文 Frontiers in Surgery。

Frontiers in Surgery 呼吁所有外科专业的医学专家和科学家在本期刊上发表他们的实验和临床研究。通过在 Frontiers in Surgery 的共同保护伞下汇集所有仍保持独立性的外科专业，创建了一个强大的出版场所。由于不同外科专业之间经常存在重叠和共同点，将所有外科学科整合到一个期刊中将促进外科界之间的协作对话。这意味着其他外科专业也感兴趣的出版物将覆盖更广泛的受众并产生更大的影响。

这本多学科期刊的目的是为当今外科实践中的进展和研究成果创建一个讨论和知识平台，以不断改善患者的临床管理并促进该领域的创新。
