Top 5

Can we generate a top-5 list of surgeons for the various fields?  Tumor, vascular (open, endo, combined), functional (epilepsy, pain, neuromodulation), spine (degenerative, scoli, spine-onc), pedi, peripheral nerve, trauma, research.  Would love to hear the discussion.

Top 5 in what? Publishing? Reputation? Case volume?
There is no standard metric

Everyone will claim their department's tumor guy is the best.

I agree with a lot of this but some of these guys are retired and haven't operated in years.

Good list. Some might be older, have moved on or decreased their practice, but each name would have made a top 5 list at one point of their career.
