International Journal of Surgery Case Reports (IJSCR) is the companion journal to the highly-regarded International Journal of Surgery.

International Journal of Surgery Case Reports is an open access, broad scope journal covering all surgical specialties. It is dedicated to publishing case reports and case series. Articles must be authentic, ethical, educational and clinically interesting to an international audience of surgeons, trainees and researchers in all surgical subspecialties, as well as clinicians in related fields.

All case reports and case series submitted need to comply with the relevant reporting criteria. The journal is published monthly and focuses on rapid submission to decision times.
All articles are peer reviewed and if accepted for publication, authors are notified of this decision and requested to pay an Article Processing Fee. Following payment of this fee, the article is made universally available to all on ScienceDirect. The final authoritative version of each case report is also sent to PubMed Central.

The journal covers the following areas of surgery:

• Cardiothoracic surgery
• General surgery
• Neurosurgery
• Oral and maxillofacial surgery
• Otolaryngology (ENT)
• Paediatric surgery
• Plastic surgery
• Trauma and orthopaedic surgery
