Aims & Scope

As a broad scope journal covering all surgical specialities, the IJS aims to facilitate the transfer of important ideas and lines of thought between and across specialities.

In this way, the journal will help prevent the trend of increasing sub-specialisation leading to 'tunnel-vision' and the sequestration of important surgical advances within particular specialties.
