We feel privileged and honored to be guest editors of this edition of the Surgical Clinics of North America. It has been 6 years since the last pediatric surgery edition of Surgical Clinics of North America was published with Dr Mike Chen as guest editor. Given the new era of residency training with decreased work hours, increased postgraduate fellowships, and a redefined scope of general surgical practice, we have dedicated this issue to the graduating chief resident in general surgery. It has been said that to be an accomplished pediatric surgeon, one first must be an accomplished general surgeon. Each article is written with the intention of providing newly practicing general surgeons a synopsis of what they should be aware of regarding each of the pediatric conditions discussed. We realize that many of these conditions will not be part of the general surgeon's operative practice; however, it is anticipated that the general surgeon will likely come across or be referred to the disease entities discussed in this edition and thus will need to be prepared.
