METHODS: In this study, we screened 1,119 studies on abdominoplasty between 2011 and 2021 based on the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database and performed a bibliometric analysis.
RESULTS: We found that high-quality research related to abdominoplasty has increased in the last decade, and the United States was the leading country in the field of abdominoplasty. Stanford university ranked first in number of publications and citations. Aesthetic surgery journal was the most productive journal, followed by the Plastic and reconstructive surgery and Aesthetic plastic surgery. In addition, bariatric surgery, venous thromboembolism, rectus diastasis, breast reconstruction and umbilicoplasty are the keywords of recent publications that are the focus of current research.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a comprehensive analysis and visualization of global research trends on abdominoplasty from 2011 to 2021, and improvements in abdominoplasty to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications will remain a focus of future research.
方法:在本研究中,我们基于WebofScienceCoreCollection(WOSCC)数据库,筛选了2011年至2021年期间1,119项关于腹部成形术的研究,并进行了文献计量分析.
结果:我们发现,与腹部成形术有关的高质量研究在过去十年中有所增加,美国是腹壁成形术领域的领先国家。斯坦福大学在出版物和引用数量上排名第一。美容外科杂志是最有成效的杂志,其次是整形和重建手术和美容整形手术。此外,减肥手术,静脉血栓栓塞,直肌舒张,乳房重建和脐成形术是最近出版物的关键词,是当前研究的重点。
结论:本研究提供了2011年至2021年全球腹壁成形术研究趋势的全面分析和可视化,改善腹壁成形术以降低术后并发症的发生率仍将是未来研究的重点。
