About this Special Issue

Surgical nursing excellence is strongest when it connects evidence-based practices with measurable patient outcomes and safety. This Special Issue focuses on clinical excellence in nursing—from perioperative preparation and intraoperative care to postoperative recovery, complication prevention, and system-level improvements. We especially welcome submissions that report transparent methods, practical endpoints, and insights that can enhance surgical care quality, equity, and long-term patient well-being.

Preference is given to studies with clear outcomes (complication rates, length of stay, readmissions, patient satisfaction), robust analysis, and a concise “What this changes in practice” statement.
