European Journal of Pediatric Surgery Special Edition: The Best Papers of the Annual Congress of the European Paediatric Surgical Association

The European Journal of Pediatric Surgery is the official journal of the European Association of Paediatric Surgery (EUPSA). We are pleased to announce the new program of the two organizations, which was initiated this year. The best 12 papers presented at the annual congress of the European Association of Paediatric Surgery will be published yearly in a special EUPSA issue of the journal.

This year, the congress took place in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Thirty-six manuscripts were submitted. The members of the EUPSA Scientific Office discussed and scored each paper and finally accepted 12, including the Duhamel lecture. We are glad to have the opportunity to release this issue of excellent manuscripts, and we very much appreciate having Prem Puri, who is the chairman of the EUPSA Scientific Office, as the first Guest Editor.
