Aims & Scope
Advancing international surgical practice through peer-reviewed documentation of novel operative techniques, unique clinical presentations, and surgical outcomes.
Our Publishing Mission
The Journal of Surgery and Clinical Case Research (JSCCR) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly publication dedicated to advancing patient care, operative techniques, and clinical surgical knowledge worldwide.
We provide frontline surgeons, surgical residents, clinical researchers, and interdisciplinary surgical teams with a globally accessible venue to document rare clinical presentations, unexpected surgical dilemmas, operative complications and their successful salvage, and technical modifications that improve surgical outcomes.
Core Editorial Principles
We prioritize manuscripts that offer clear, reproducible surgical takeaways, anatomical warnings, or technique modifications applicable in the operating room.
Every case report must adhere to the international CARE criteria, ensuring comprehensive reporting of timeline, diagnostic workup, and patient consent.
