Surgical journals supporting precise, consistent clinical practice

Surgical teams operate in high‑stakes environments where precision, coordination, and trusted evidence are critical — from preoperative planning through intraoperative decision‑making and postoperative care.

The Ovid® Surgery Collection is designed around the realities of surgical practice — bringing together authoritative journals across general surgery and subspecialties including orthopaedics, neurosurgery, transplant, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and minimally invasive techniques. It provides a consistent evidence foundation that supports precise, defensible decision‑making across clinicians, care settings, and procedures.

Coverage spans the full spectrum of surgical care, including orthopedic and spine surgery, neurosurgery, trauma and acute care surgery, transplant surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ophthalmic surgery, and procedural techniques.

Evidence is aligned to real clinical workflows, not isolated departments or specialties.

A shared research infrastructure supports alignment across clinicians, care settings, and transitions of care.

Peer‑reviewed, traceable knowledge clinicians and institutions can rely on when decisions are reviewed.
