An analysis has been made of the 642 papers presented to the Surgical Research Society of Australasia between 1962 and 1978. Most areas of research have maintained a relatively stable level of productivity over the period examined. However, while tumour immunology, education, and microsurgery have attracted increasing interest, that of transplantation immunology and cardiovascular research appeared to be decreasing in recent years. The most commonly investigated body systems were gastrointestinal (27%), cardiovascular (21%), and genitourinary (17%). The most commonly studied scientific disciplines were metabolism/biochemistry (22%), physiological measurement (17%), immunology (10%), oncology (9%), and transplantation (8%). Less than 3% of papers related to controlled clinical trials.
