ABSTRACT
The current issue of the United European Gastroenterology Journal builds on its previous dedication to guidelines and guideline methods by introducing the AGREE-S methodological guide, an AGREE II extension for surgical interventions. The AGREE-S focuses on ensuring the quality of guidelines that specifically target surgical interventions with their characteristic challenges. Mainly to be used to aid completeness and transparency of de novo development of recommendations, it is also highly valuable in the process of adoption, adaptation or adolopment of existing surgical guidelines. The AGREE-S methodological guide with its aim to assist in guideline development is further enhanced by a reporting checklist (to increase transparency) and appraisal tool (to assess guideline quality) available at https://agree-s.org/.
