As the only dedicated emergency surgery journal and one of the top journals in the field of emergency medicine, World Journal of Emergency Surgery is an indispensable resource for emergency surgeons and physicians, providing a forum for the rapid exchange of ideas and findings. We publish state-of-the-art research, unique case reports and innovative surgical techniques, as well as key surgical guidelines from the World Society of Emergency Surgery.
We are proud to acknowledge that over 50% of the articles published in this journal in 2025 were related to one or more of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
World Journal of Emergency Surgery encourages authors to also submit a visual abstract to accompany their manuscript.
