THE ABCD FROM 1986 TO 2021: VICTORIOUS TRAJECTORY!

The ABCD - Brazilian Archives of Digestive Surgery, as can be seen in the “Presentation”¹ in Figure 1, was conceived by Prof. Dr. Henrique Walter Pinotti, Professor of Digestive Surgery at the Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil and had its first issue published in 1986 final months. Therefore, in this year of 2021, with 35 years without interruptions, was edited four times a year. Its objective from the beginning was - and still is - to publicize the advances in gastrointestinal surgery in the country, as well as that of its related areas - nutrition, digestive endoscopy, experimental surgery, surgical technique, general surgery - and other aspects of gastroenterology in general.
