World Neurosurgery's mission is to provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information providing social, political, educational, economic, cultural, or societal insights and knowledge significant and relevant to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.

World Neurosurgery acts as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide, while providing a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.

Areas of particular interest include:
•Education, Economics, Research, Politics, History, and Culture
•Clinical and Laboratory Science, Technology, and Operative Techniques
•Clinical Images, Video

World Neurosurgery has an open access companion journal World Neurosurgery: X, which accepts similar articles to those found in World Neurosurgery. World Neurosurgery: X is expecting to grow submissions and content, specifically in the areas of innovation, education, leadership, and quality improvement. Authors can submit manuscripts via Editorial Manager: https://www.editorialmanager.com/wnsx/default1.aspx.
