The average citation per year was 4.3. The most targeted anatomic area was the \u201croot entry zone\u201d or proximal portion of the cisternal segment of the trigeminal nerve. The most utilized modality was Gamma Knife radiosurgery. The country with the highest number of publications was the United States. Thirty-six percent of the articles were published in the Journal of Neurosurgery. Lunsford, Kondziolka, Flickinger, and R\u00e9gis, respectively, were the most frequently listed co-authors.
