Current Problems in Surgery Journal

Current Problems in Surgery keeps readers up-to-date on the latest surgical advances. Each month, this publication examines a single clinical problem or condition commonly seen by general surgeons. Issues also focus on topics in surgical research and emerging ideas in surgical subspecialties. Current Problems in Surgery is ideal for information too urgent to await book publication, yet too important to be summarized in a brief journal article.
