Little is factually known about the burden of surgical disease and less is known about global surgical provision of care for diseases that may be treated, cured, or palliated by a surgical intervention. Despite the lack of information, surgical interventions are provided by a variety of agencies every day in the developing world. This literature review represents the first published comprehensive review of the global surgical literature. The primary goal was to collect and summarize what has been published on the current global burden of surgical disease and thereby encourage and promote the allocation of further research and resources.
A systematic review of English language publications on Pubmed or Medline was performed.
This report summarizes what little is known in terms of numeric estimates for the global burden of surgical disease. Globally, access and availability of surgical care in developing countries remains scarce, but the problem is receiving more attention for the first time in surgical circles. Much work remains in the effort to obtain reliable estimates of the global burden of surgical disease.
关于外科疾病负担的实际情况知之甚少，而对于那些可通过外科干预进行治疗、治愈或缓解的疾病，全球外科护理服务的情况更是鲜为人知。尽管缺乏相关信息，但在发展中世界，每天都有各种机构提供外科干预措施。这篇文献综述是首次发表的对全球外科文献的全面综述。其主要目标是收集并总结已发表的有关当前全球外科疾病负担的内容，从而鼓励并促进进一步研究和资源的分配。
对PubMed或Medline上的英文出版物进行了系统综述。
本报告总结了关于全球外科疾病负担的数字估计方面所知甚少的情况。在全球范围内，发展中国家外科护理的可及性和可得性仍然稀缺，但这个问题首次在外科领域受到更多关注。要获得全球外科疾病负担的可靠估计，仍有许多工作要做。
