Editors’ corner SURGERY receives many submissions in the category of case reports, very few of which will be accepted. Our principal benchmark for consideration of publication is that the case or its management provide novel and timely information, as well as insight into a surgical disorder. More precisely, this requirement does not include such criteria as the ‘‘biggest,’’ ‘‘most difficult,’’ ‘‘unusual,’’ or even ‘‘the first ever described.’’ Occasionally
the Editors may suggest to the author that the case contains images of possible interest for our Images in Surgery section. Case reports must be short and focused—not just an excuse for another review of the literature. Andrew L. Warshaw, MD Michael G. Sarr, MD Editors-in-Chief
