Dr. Antonio Bernardo has published extensively in leading, peer-reviewed neurosurgical journals, with work that has repeatedly appeared as featured and cover publications, reflecting the significance and impact of his contributions. His scholarly output has played an important role in shaping modern neurosurgical techniques, particularly in the areas of skull base and cerebrovascular surgery, where anatomical complexity and operative risk demand continual refinement of approach and strategy. Through detailed anatomical analyses, operative technique papers, and outcome-focused studies, Dr. Bernardo has helped advance safer, more reproducible surgical methods for the treatment of complex cranial base tumors and vascular lesions. His publications are widely cited and frequently used as references in advanced training, underscoring their influence on both clinical practice and surgical education. Collectively, this body of work reflects a career committed not only to surgical excellence in the operating room, but also to the rigorous dissemination of knowledge that continues to elevate standards in contemporary neurosurgery.
