Abstract
A bibliometric analysis was conducted in April 2024 to review the current trends in otoplasty. It involved a literature search of the Scopus database for original articles with the query terms "otoplasty" and "pinnaplasty," without restricting publication dates or selecting journals in the database. The top 100 articles with the highest citations were reviewed. Bibliometric analysis was performed with the Scimago journal impact factor. The screening was done following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to extract the top 100 most-cited articles in otoplasty. We excluded articles not focused on otoplasty, those involving other surgical procedures, and non-English articles. With Scopus and manual screening, we performed citation analysis of selected articles. Mean values were calculated for the number of citations and citations per year. Of the 951 studies identified, 100 (10.5%) were analyzed in detail. The studies were published between 1941 and 2024, with a mean of 36 ± 23.7 citations per paper. The journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery reported the highest number (23%, n = 23) of articles, followed by the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery with 13% (n = 13) articles. The highest number of articles originated from the United States (38%, n = 38), followed by the United Kingdom (15%, n = 15). Our bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the landscape of otoplasty research, highlighting key publications, authors, and journals. This study contributes to the understanding of the evolution and impact of otoplasty literature, laying the groundwork for further research and innovation in this field.
