Abstract

Purpose: Endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) is a preferred treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This bibliometric analysis aims to analyze the application trends and research hotspots of EEP.

Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection from 1989 to 2023. The techniques examined include holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP), thulium laser enucleation (ThuLEP/ThuFLEP), bipolar/monopolar transurethral enucleation (b-TUEP/m-TUEP), GreenLight laser enucleation (GreenLEP), and diode laser enucleation (DiLEP). We utilized VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package 'bibliometrix' for the analysis.

Results: A total of 739 English-language studies were analyzed, revealing a steady increase in EEP-related publications. HoLEP was the most extensively studied technique, followed by ThuLEP and b-TUEP, while ThuFLEP gaining emerging interest. There has been a notable lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for GreenLEP, DiLEP and m-TUEP. China, the United States, and Germany led in publication volume and collaboration networks. Key contributors in the field were identified, with recent research focusing on topics like postoperative transient urinary incontinence (TUI) and the role of robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) in comparison to EEP.

Conclusions: EEP is gaining widespread clinical acceptance for BPH treatment. Future research should focus on addressing the gap in high-quality RCTs, especially for underexplored techniques like GreenLEP, DiLEP and m-TUEP, and explore strategies to reduce postoperative TUI. Prospective comparisons between RASP and EEP will be crucial for optimizing surgical approaches in BPH management.

内镜下前列腺摘除的应用趋势与研究热点:文献计量与可视化分析。
目的:内镜下前列腺摘除(EEP)是治疗良性前列腺增生的首选方法。本文通过文献计量学分析,分析EEP的应用趋势和研究热点。方法:对1989 - 2023年在Web of Science Core Collection收录的出版物进行文献计量学分析。研究的技术包括钬激光去核(HoLEP)、铥激光去核(ThuLEP/ThuFLEP)、双极/单极经尿道去核(b-TUEP/m-TUEP)、绿光激光去核(GreenLEP)和二极管激光去核(DiLEP)。我们使用VOSviewer、CiteSpace和R软件包“bibliometrix”进行分析。结果:共分析了739篇英语研究,揭示了与eep相关的出版物稳步增长。HoLEP是研究最广泛的技术,其次是ThuLEP和b-TUEP,而ThuFLEP越来越受到关注。对于GreenLEP、DiLEP和m-TUEP,目前明显缺乏高质量的随机对照试验(rct)。中国、美国和德国在出版物数量和合作网络方面处于领先地位。确定了该领域的关键贡献者,最近的研究重点是术后短暂性尿失禁(TUI)和机器人辅助的简单前列腺切除术(RASP)与EEP相比的作用。结论:脑电图在治疗前列腺增生中得到了广泛的临床认可。未来的研究应着眼于解决高质量随机对照试验的缺口,特别是对GreenLEP、DiLEP和m-TUEP等未被充分开发的技术,并探索减少术后TUI的策略。RASP和EEP的前瞻性比较对于优化BPH治疗的手术入路至关重要。

期刊介绍: The WORLD JOURNAL OF UROLOGY conveys regularly the essential results of urological research and their practical and clinical relevance to a broad audience of urologists in research and clinical practice. In order to guarantee a balanced program, articles are published to reflect the developments in all fields of urology on an internationally advanced level. Each issue treats a main topic in review articles of invited international experts. Free papers are unrelated articles to the main topic.
