Academic global surgery consists of collaborative partnerships that address surgical inequities through research, training, education, advocacy, and diplomacy. It has been characterized by increased scholastic production through global surgery publications, dedicated global surgery sessions within scientific conferences, global surgery-specific research grants, database development to support global surgery research, global surgery research fellowships, and global surgery-based academic promotion paradigms. The increased emphasis on global surgery research has been accompanied by multiple ethical challenges. This article reviews critical ethical dilemmas presented by global surgery research efforts and proposes interventions on the partnership, infrastructural, and policy levels to enhance fidelity within research partnerships.
全球外科学术领域由合作关系构成，通过研究、培训、教育、宣传和外交来解决外科领域的不平等问题。其特点是通过全球外科学术出版物、科学会议中专门的全球外科学术会议、专门用于全球外科学术研究的赠款、支持全球外科学术研究的数据库开发、全球外科学术研究奖学金以及基于全球外科学术的学术晋升模式等方式，增加了学术产出。对外科领域的重视增加了，随之而来的是多个伦理挑战。本文回顾了全球外科学术研究工作中提出的关键伦理困境，并提出了在伙伴关系、基础设施和政策层面上的干预措施，以提高研究伙伴关系的保真度。
