The aim of IJAWHS is to promote academic exchanges of hernia and abdominal wall surgery, improve application of new technique and material and generalize the guidelines of diagnosis and treatment in hernia and abdominal wall disease.
We will publish papers that report the latest basic research and clinical developments, with particular (but not exclusive) emphasis on the following topics:
1) Clinical issues of groin hernias, ventral/incisional hernias, parastomal hernias, internal hernias, and defects of diaphragm and perineum
2) Advancement of techniques, concepts, materials and equipment in hernia repair
3) Prevention and treatment of complications following hernia repair
4) Treatment of infection, tumor and trauma of the abdominal wall
5) Reconstruction of the abdominal wall, cosmetic and plastic surgery in abdominal wall
The journal accepts a broad array of article formats such as original research, editorials, reviews, clinical reports, and commentaries. Join the conversation about this journal
Quartiles

SJR
The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from
It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.
