Scope

BMC Surgery is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on surgical research, training, and practice.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
