A publisher built from the hospital floor
PEDIATRICSURGERYLATAM EDITORIAL S.A.S. is a simplified joint-stock company based in Quito, Ecuador, founded in 2026 to publish high-quality science in pediatric surgery and related fields, in Spanish and English.
We started from a concrete need: Latin American surgeons, residents and health teams deserve a rigorous publishing route that is free for readers and authors alike, and visible to international indexers.
