Journal of Visualized Surgery

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Visualized Surgery (ISSN 2221-2965; J Vis Surg; JOVS; jovs.amegroups.com; jovs.amegroups.org) is an international peer-reviewed journal focused on visualized surgery.

It aims to promote the development of surgery around the world by the sharing of surgical experience in visual media between surgeons and clinicians so that all patients may benefit.

Hence, the focus of JOVS is on instructional and educational video clips, photos, schematics of visualized surgical procedures, rather than lengthy text.

JOVS is indexed and covered by Web of Science [Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)].

JOVS is the official publication of Asia Thoracoscopic Surgery Education Program (ATEP) and its scope includes: Cardiac Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Lung Surgery, Esophageal Surgery, Gastric Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Hepatobiliary Surgery, Breast Surgery, Neurosurgery, Urological Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Transplantation, Anesthesiology etc.

Journal keywords: video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, lung cancer, segmentectomy, lobectomy, uniportal, case report, robotic surgery, thymectomy, minimally invasive surgery, thoracoscopy, thoracic surgery, uniportal VATS, thymoma, subxiphoid, sublobar resection, myasthenia gravis, esophagectomy, lung resection, laparoscopy, surgery, bronchoplasty, esophageal cancer, aortic surgery, pneumonectomy, indocyanine green, lymphadenectomy, sleeve lobectomy, mediastinum, thoracic endovascular aortic repair, lymph node dissection, aortic arch, aortic valve repair, minimally invasive esophagectomy, complications, aortic root, single-port, laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, robotic, preoperative planning, simulation, learning curve, mitral valve repair, etc.
