Call for Papers: Innovations in Rib Fracture Management
Published in Healthcare & Nursing and Surgery
Springer Nature Collections are curated groups of articles within a journal that provide highly focused exploration of specific themes and emerging topics to enhance the visibility and impact of research. By contributing to a Collection, you can benefit from increased visibility, meaningful academic connections, and broader impact. This collection - from the journal World Journal of Emergency Surgery - focuses on the management of rib fractures.
These injuries can lead to severe complications, including respiratory failure, prolonged hospitalization, and increased mortality rates. Recent advances in the field have already begun to reshape our understanding of rib fracture management. Techniques such as rib fixation and the use of bioabsorbable materials have shown promise in stabilizing the thorax wall and facilitating better respiratory function. Additionally, the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques has reduced the morbidity associated with traditional open approaches, allowing for quicker recovery times and shorter hospital stays. The "Innovations in Rib Fracture Management: From Flail Chest to Fracture Fixation" collection in World Journal of Emergency Surgery focuses on these techniques and invites contributions to the field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Surgical techniques for rib fixation
- Management of flail chest injuries
- Innovations in thoracic wall stabilization
- Postoperative care and rehabilitation strategies
- Impact of rib fractures on respiratory function
- Cost-effectiveness of rib fracture treatments
- Use of bioabsorbable materials in fracture fixation
- Patient outcomes in rib fracture management
“Innovations in Rib Fracture Management: From Flail Chest to Fracture Fixation” is led by Carlo Vallicelli, Maurizio Bufalini Hospital, Italy. The collection accepts original research and reviews.

Laparoscopic and robotic emergency surgery
The field of emergency surgery is rapidly evolving, with advances in laparoscopic and robotic technologies transforming the way we approach trauma and acute care surgery. The integration of minimally invasive surgical approaches not only enhances recovery times but also reduces complications, making it essential for researchers and practitioners to stay at the forefront of these advancements.
Laparoscopic surgery has already made significant strides in emergency medicine, allowing for quicker interventions with less postoperative pain and scarring. Robotic surgery has further refined these techniques, providing surgeons with enhanced precision and control. These advances have demonstrated improved outcomes in various emergency situations, such as appendectomies and cholecystectomies, where traditional open surgery has been the norm. Furthermore, the advent of training simulations and improved imaging techniques has paved the way for safer, more effective emergency interventions.
Understanding the nuances of laparoscopic and robotic emergency surgery is not just about adopting new technologies; it's about creating a paradigm shift in how we think about trauma and acute care. Continued research in this area promises to enhance surgical education, improve patient safety, and promote collaboration across disciplines. Advancing our knowledge in laparoscopic and robotic emergency surgery can lead to improved health outcomes and increased access to high-quality surgical care for vulnerable populations.
We invite researchers to contribute to this special Collection by submitting original research articles and reviews. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
o Applications of robotic surgery in trauma cases
o Laparoscopic techniques for acute care surgery
o Outcomes of minimally invasive surgery in emergency settings
o Training and education in laparoscopic and robotic surgery
o Innovations in surgical technology for trauma management
o Patient safety and quality improvement in emergency surgery
All submissions in this collection undergo the journal’s standard peer review process. Similarly, all manuscripts authored by a Guest Editor(s) will be handled by the Editor-in-Chief. As an open access publication, this journal levies an article processing fee (details here). We recognize that many key stakeholders may not have access to such resources and are committed to supporting participation in this issue wherever resources are a barrier. For more information about what support may be available, please visit OA funding and support, or email OAfundingpolicy@springernature.com or the Editor-in-Chief.
