Summary
Bariatric surgery is effective for weight loss, but weight regain is a long-term concern. This bibliometric analysis highlights research trends and emphasizes the need to address post-surgery weight gain.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometric analysis
- Medical research trends
- Obesity and bariatric surgery
Background:
- Bariatric surgery is the most effective weight loss method.
- Long-term weight regain after bariatric surgery is a significant clinical challenge.
- Eating habits and self-management are crucial for sustained weight loss post-surgery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of bariatric surgery and weight gain literature.
- To identify current content and emerging trends in this research area.
- To understand the publication landscape concerning bariatric surgery outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis using Web of Science database.
- Keywords: "bariatric surgery" and "weight gain".
- Analysis included publication years, citations, journals, countries, institutions, and co-occurrence/co-citation networks using VOSviewer.
Main Results:
- 988 articles were analyzed from 1993 to 2022.
- Obesity Surgery journal and the USA were the most prolific in publications.
- Keywords "bariatric surgery," "obesity," and "weight regain" were most frequent.
Conclusions:
- Bibliometric analysis reveals key trends in bariatric surgery and weight gain research.
- Focusing on weight regain is critical due to its adverse impact on patient outcomes and healthcare systems.
- Further research is needed to mitigate long-term weight regain after bariatric procedures.

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...
