Abstract
This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the literature related to robotic surgery to understand the research hotspots and development trends in this field. We focus on the fields of robotics and surgery, having conducted a comprehensive literature review utilizing the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database, covering the period from 1999 to 2024. We quantified the annual publication count using GraphPad Prism. In addition, we analyzed authors, countries, institutions, journals, and keywords using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. China and the United States have emerged as the leading countries in terms of publication output. The primary keywords identified include "robot-assisted surgery" and "minimally invasive surgery," among others, which collectively formed eight effective clusters. Research on robotic surgery exhibits a trend of continuous growth, and this field is expected to remain a focal point in surgical studies in the future.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the Journal of Robotic Surgery is to become the leading worldwide journal for publication of articles related to robotic surgery, encompassing surgical simulation and integrated imaging techniques. The journal provides a centralized, focused resource for physicians wishing to publish their experience or those wishing to avail themselves of the most up-to-date findings.The journal reports on advance in a wide range of surgical specialties including adult and pediatric urology, general surgery, cardiac surgery, gynecology, ENT, orthopedics and neurosurgery.The use of robotics in surgery is broad-based and will undoubtedly expand over the next decade as new technical innovations and techniques increase the applicability of its use. The journal intends to capture this trend as it develops.
