Summary
Global research on gasless laparoscopy shows stagnant production, with current focus on new, less invasive techniques. Increased studies are needed, especially from Latin America, to promote this surgical approach.
Area of Science:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Surgical Technology
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Gasless laparoscopy offers an alternative to traditional pneumoperitoneum.
- Characterizing global research trends is crucial for understanding the field's evolution.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of global scientific output on gasless laparoscopy.
- To identify key publications, authors, institutions, and research trends.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric study of original articles published up to 2023.
- Data sourced from Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus.
- Analysis performed using Bibliometrix in R and VOSviewer.
Main Results:
- 223 publications identified, with peak years in 1999 and 2014.
- Japan led global production (64 articles), followed by China and Italy.
- Nakamura H was the most prolific author; "Surgical Endoscopy" published the most articles.
Conclusions:
- Research on gasless laparoscopy has plateaued, shifting towards novel applications.
- Asia and Europe dominate publications, with limited research from Latin America.
- Further studies are essential to advance and promote gasless laparoscopy techniques.
