This comparative bibliometric study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis of the earlier studies in order to comprehend the current application and scientific situation of robotic surgery in the field of obstetrics /gynecology. In this study, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases were used to retrieve the publications since September 2022 on robotic surgery in the obstetrics/gynecology research area. All articles except commentaries, errata, and corrigenda, were included. All duplicate papers were verified twice and eliminated. Most impactful authors, date of publication, leading institutions, language, top published countries, affiliations and prominent journals were analyzed. According to the methodology detailed above, we retrieved 267 publications from Scopus and 256 publications from the WoS database. Most of the publications were in English language. Harvard Medical School published most of the publications according to Scopus and Brigham and Women's Hospital (n=17) and Harvard Medical School (n=17) published most of the publications according to WoS. According to WoS, the first publication was published in 2002, and according to Scopus, it was published in 1998. Between 2008 and 2022, the amount of documents in both databases expanded dramatically. Concerning the number of publications, the United States of America (USA) ranked in first in both databases. According to Scopus, the second most prolific publishing countries were Germany and South Korea. According to WoS, South Korea is ranked second. Although the number of articles is in the increasing trend, the number of articles published on robotic surgery in gynecology is limited in both databases. The publications have been published from developed countries, especially the USA. Further studies can be done with visualization and other bibliometric methods.
Amaç: Anormal uterus kanamaları, kadını, hayatının değişik dönemlerinde fizyolojik psikolojik ve patolojik anlamda etkileyen önemli bir yakınmadır. Sebepleri oldukça geniş bir spektrum içerir. Buçalışmamızda; anormal uterus kanaması olan premenapozal ve postmenapozal dönemdeki kadınların endometrial patolojilerinin teşhisinde, diagnostik histeroskopinin dilatasyon ve küretaja göre etkinliği ile karşılaştırdık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Şubat 2002 ve Aralık 2003 yılları arasında SSK Ege Doğumevi ve Kadın Hastalıkları Hastanesi’ne jinekoloji polikliniğine başvuran anormal uterin kanaması olan veya uterin patolojiden şüphelenilen 40 hasta çalışmaya alındı.Hastaların küretaj materyallarinin histopatolojik bulguları ile histeroskopik bulguları karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular:Olguların %67.5’unda kanama paterni menometroraji iken %20 ’inde metroraji %12.5’unda postmenopozal kanama şeklinde idi.Çalışma grubu içerisinde %52.5 oranında anormal histopatolojik bulgularla karşılaşırken, %47.5 olgunun histopatolojik incelemeleri normal olarak değerlendirildi. Bu dönemde en çok karşılaşılan patalojik bulgu %17.5 oranında hiperplazi iken bunun %15 oranında endometrit %10 oranında endometrial polip ve %7.5 oranında yetersiz materyel (atrofi) takip etmiştir. Myoma ise %2.5 oranında rastlanmıştır. Hiperplazilerin tamamı basit atipisiz formdaydı. Endometrial maligniteye ise olgularımızda rastlanılmadı. Sonuç:Dilatasyon ve Küretaj öncesi histeroskopi yapılırsa uterin kavite direk olarak visualise edilmiş olur böylece anormal endometrial alanlar lokalize edilmiş ve buralara daha fazla forse küretaj yapmama imkanı doğar.
Background/Aim: This bibliometric study aimed to analyze published articles in the field of laparoscopic hysterectomy in order to identify their characteristics and trends. Method: The analysis covered all studies that had been published on laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) that were published between 1992 and December 31, 2021. Bibliometric data was gathered from the Web of Science database, and VOSviewer software was used to construct bibliometric diagrams. Result: A total of 993 articles according to the search criteria. 12.79% of the articles were published as open access and 96.375% were in English. Since 2010, 57% of articles have been published. These articles had an h-index of 70, a total of 23538 citations, and an average of 23.7 citations per article. Although the number of publications about LH changes from year to year, it peaked in 2015 (the number of publications was 59) and it had the highest citation numbers (n = 1800) in 2021. 3448 authors contributed to the publication of scholarly works on LH. Prof. Fabio Ghezzi from the University of Insubria (Italy) was the most published author on LH with 25 articles. Prof. Fabio Ghezzi’s articles on LH were cited 735 times (29.4 per article). The majority of the articles were published by affiliates in Italy and the United States. Conclusion: This study represents the first bibliometric analysis of laparoscopic hysterectomy. Laparoscopic hysterectomy research has advanced but slowed in recent years. Developing nations should consider increasing research funding to produce substantial research that can serve as the foundation for locally applicable, evidence-based laparoscopic hysterectomy interventions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
