The opening chapter of Surgical Neurology — foundational peer-reviewed research establishing the journal’s scope and scholarly authority from its 1973 inception.
A decade of rapid expansion in neurosurgical specialisation — spine surgery, cerebrovascular technique, and pediatric neurosurgery emerging as distinct research disciplines.
Surgical Neurology at its most prolific — high-volume clinical trial output, landmark technique papers, and the journal’s peak citation impact across all subspecialties.
The concluding volumes of Surgical Neurology before its 2010 renaming — marking the journal’s transition to World Neurosurgery and closing a 37-year run of indexed scholarship.
