Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current Special Issue is focused on gastrointestinal emergencies from the gastroenterologist and surgeon’s perspective. Gastrointestinal emergencies comprise a spectrum of critical medical conditions affecting the digestive system, demanding prompt and specialized attention. These emergencies may manifest in various ways, from acute abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding to bowel obstructions or perforations. The timely recognition and management of these gastrointestinal emergencies are crucial for preserving patient well-being and minimizing medical intervention; however, when necessary, surgical expertise is key in addressing these critical situations. Thus, early diagnosis and management may require novel approaches by distinguishing high-risk patients according to their presentations. Currently, the advent of minimally invasive approaches has revolutionized the landscape of medical interventions. By harboring techniques such as laparoscopy and endoscopy, medical practitioners may address critical gastrointestinal conditions effectively, with reduced trauma, quick recovery times, and enhanced patient outcomes. The growing integration of minimally invasive approaches as well as initial prognostic scores in gastrointestinal emergencies reflects a paradigm shift toward patient-centric care, emphasizing not only effective medical intervention but also the improved quality of life. This Special Issue will focus on original works or reviews focused on the recent status and advances in the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal emergencies.
