World Journal of Emergency Surgery is calling for submissions to our Collection on Acute care surgery organization in the world. Globally, the acute care surgery (ACS) system is increasingly seen as a necessary part of a matured healthcare system. However, ACS is still in its early days. Until healthcare systems figure out how to establish a proficient ACS system, the way ACS is practiced will vary widely across the globe. The focus of this topical collection would be to gather insights into how each country organizes its ACS system to best serve its needs, whilst adapting to the usual constraints of manpower, time and resources. This topical collection welcomes full-length Research articles, Brief Communications, Reviews, Perspectives, Comments, Case Studies, Registered Reports, and Data Notes. The aim would be to give readers a broader sense of the various ways ACS can be organized and managed, so that the reader can ultimately develop their own system.
