Editorial

I am very happy to present the second issue of World Journal of Laparoscopic Surgery to all of you. The World Association ofLaparoscopic Surgeons (WALS) is an organization whose primary activities are developing, coordinating, promulgating, revising,amending, reissuing, interpreting, or otherwise maintaining standards of minimal access surgery that addresses the interests of awide base of surgeons from all over the world. This organization has emerged as the world’s leading organization of minimalaccess surgery. This is the only organization in the world which is truly international.

The WALS, as a scientific society, takes a leading role in its evidence-based guidelines on minimal access surgical proceduresand techniques. It has taken up its responsibility to support surgeons, gynecologists, urologists and pediatric surgeons withwell-founded recommendations in several fields of minimal access surgery.

It is important to bring forward new ideas for progress and development in laparoscopic surgery. To fulfil this purpose, theWALS encourages capable and courageous surgeons and gynecologists because we feel that there is still a lack of high qualityevidence for several topics of endoscopic surgery and for that clinical trials are urgently needed all over the world.

This journal is truly a groundbreaking piece of research that spans the endoscopic surgery and its underpinning technologyregardless of religion and philosophy, social movements and political ideologies. I know of no other journal that has succeededin tackling laparoscopic questions in such a rounded and accomplished manner, revealing the extraordinarily multi-dimensionalcharacter of minimal access surgery.

The WALS members can now submit their study ideas and laparoscopic trials electronically through the websitehttp://www.worldjls.org. The ideas of members will be screened and checked by staff members of World Association of LaparoscopicSurgeons and then the committee will decide whether to accept or reject for publication. For further information, please visit ourwebsite www.wals.org.uk or http://www.wals.in.
