Scope boundary 165 canonical general-surgery records are used in coverage totals.
2 legacy related-specialty records remain discoverable but are excluded from canonical counts.
Every record links to an official institutional, recruitment or professional source. Accreditation and society-registry listings document programme identity, not accreditation or an active vacancy.

Dated deadline available 1% Snapshot date: 2026-08-27 SurgFellow now documents official-source records across all seven listed world regions and 31 countries, with at least two records in every listed specialty. Coverage is still not a claim that every global programme has been captured. Counts are not rankings or endorsements.
