埃德温·史密斯手术纸莎草纸占据了一系列非凡记录的首位。这显然是第一份关于脊髓损伤病例的记录，也是第一份涉及损伤病例的医疗文件。这是已知的第一部重要医学专着，也是已知的第一个可以称为科学文献的记录。我们这些关注人类脊髓损伤的管理或科学研究的人对这本医学和科学教科书特别感兴趣。该文件并不完整，但幸存下来的主要部分涉及脊髓损伤病例的调查和处理。埃德温·史密斯 (Edwin Smith) 发现的这份纸莎草纸及其由詹姆斯·亨利·布雷斯特德 (James Henry Breasted) 翻译的细节（Breasted，1922a、1922b 和 1930 年）与古代原作者和后来的抄写员（其艺术作品在这份文献中幸存下来）的身份具有同等的兴趣。后来韦斯滕多夫 (Westendorf) 将其翻译成德文 (1966)。
The Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus occupies the first place of a remarkable list of records. It is clearly the first documentation of cases of spinal cord injuries, but it is also the first medical document concerned with cases of injuries. It is the first known important medical treatise and also the first known record that can be called a scientific document. Those of us concerned with the management or the scientific investigation of human spinal cord injuries have a particular interest in this first of all medical and scientific textbooks. The document is incomplete but a major part of that which has survived is concerned with the investigation and management of cases of injury to the spinal cord. The details of the discovery of this papyrus by Edwin Smith and its translation by James Henry Breasted (Breasted, 1922a, 1922b, and 1930) are of comparable interest to the indentity of the ancient original author and the later copyist whose artistic work has survived in this document. A later translation into German was made by Westendorf (1966).
