Subject Editors for EAES

In this episode of Inside Surgery, host Dr Alice Tsai speaks with Professor Young-Woo Kim (Section Editor for Surgical Endoscopy, based at the National Cancer Center Korea, and a leading gastric cancer surgeon specialising in minimally invasive and robotic surgery) and Professor Nicolò de Manzini (Section Editor for Surgical Endoscopy, Professor of Surgery at the University of Trieste, with expertise in general, colorectal, and surgical education).

They discuss the role of subject editors and how they act as the first filter for submitted papers, deciding whether manuscripts should go to peer review or be rejected early. This protects reviewers’ time and ensures that only papers with clear value, relevance, and quality move forward.

Both guests explain what a paper needs to be relevant to surgical practice. Professor Kim highlights scientific rigour, avoiding selection bias, and clinically useful AI and prospective studies, while Professor de Manzini values practical papers on complications, safety, difficult cases, and everyday surgical improvements.

Overall, this episode shows what it means to publish in Surgical Endoscopy.
