SRGS Nutrition and Metabolic Disease Issue Is Available

Selected Readings in General Surgery (SRGS) Nutrition and Metabolic Disease has been published and is now available to view. This issue examines the important role nutrition plays in management of surgical patients. Curated by associate editors Melissa Coleman, MD, and Joseph Rappold, MD, FACS, SRGS Nutrition provides valuable content, including the following topics:

• Expert guidance on nutritional assessment tools
• Nutritional support strategies for critically ill patients, elective surgery patients, and patients with comorbid conditions.
• Evidence-based techniques for choosing parenteral versus enteral nutrition
• Thoughtful solutions for providing nutrition to older and palliative care patients

We are excited to announce that SRGS issues, beginning with SRGS Nutrition, will include a list of “key takeaways” that summarizes core principles and lessons from each section of the overview.
