Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The art and science of clinical outcome analysis, quality improvement, perioperative management of surgical patients and patient safety continue to evolve at an increasingly rapid pace. In fact, over the years, novel concepts have arisen (risk stratification, shared decision making, interdisciplinary meetings, prehabilitation, etc.), new initiatives have taken shape (e.g., state/nation-wide or international clinical databases), and new technologies and methods have been adopted across all surgical specialties (e.g., minimally invasive or robotic approaches).
In order to care for our patients, raise the standards of healthcare services, and be successful in today’s and tomorrow’s rapidly changing healthcare environment, understanding and evolving these topics represents an essential duty of all surgeons, physicians and professionals related to surgical patients. In this context, we call all surgeons, physicians and professionals from all associated disciplines involved in the perioperative pathway of surgical patients (surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, intensivists, cardiologists, oncologists, pulmonologists, nurses, physiotherapists, nutritionists, etc.) to contribute to this Special Issue. Following the big success of the first volume of the Special Issue, we decided to launch a second volume to discuss a greater number of relevant topics. Our vision remains to provide the best currently available evidence in this field, thus providing all the necessary information to clinicians on core concepts in the perioperative management of surgical patients.
