Abstract
Compared to open or conventional laparoscopic operations, surgical robots can improve surgical control and precision, which might improve patient outcomes. Nevertheless, a thorough quantitative investigation of their precise influence on hysterectomy has not yet been carried out. The objective of this research is to assess the body of literature on robot-assisted hysterectomy from 2005 to 2025, identifying key trends and research hotspots to guide future research directions. Using information from the Web of Science database, the research performed a bibliometric analysis of publications pertaining to robot-assisted hysterectomy that were published between 2005 and 2025. Keyword clustering and study subjects were analyzed using R software and VOS viewer, exposing patterns and new areas in the area. Two hundred and seventy-five researches on robotic-assisted hysterectomy were encompassed in the investigation. Research in the area has demonstrated a global growing trend in recent years. The number of articles rose rapidly between 2009 and 2015 after being very low between 2005 and 2008. The quantity of publications has varied somewhat between 2016 and 2024, although it has mostly stayed at a high level. The US is the leading country in publications, followed by China, Japan, South Korea, as well as Italy. The United States has a larger network of foreign partners and leads in publishing. The two most published and referenced journals are Gynecologic Oncology and the Journal of Robotic Surgery. The clinical use of robotically assisted hysterectomy is the primary focus of current research hotspots. The economic analysis of robotic surgery is also an important research direction, and the transformation of robotic-assisted hysterectomy into a day surgery model is gradually becoming a significant research area. Surgical robots are a valuable tool for hysterectomy because of their benefits in minimizing blood loss, lowering hospital stays, and speeding up recovery. The study offers useful references for upcoming clinical practice and research by methodically examining the state of robot-assisted hysterectomy as well as research hotspots.
与开放或传统的腹腔镜手术相比，手术机器人可以提高手术的控制和精度，这可能会改善患者的治疗效果。然而，尚未对其对子宫切除术的确切影响进行彻底的定量调查。本研究旨在评估2005 - 2025年机器人辅助子宫切除术的文献主体，识别关键趋势和研究热点，指导未来的研究方向。利用Web of Science数据库的信息，该研究对2005年至2025年间发表的与机器人辅助子宫切除术有关的出版物进行了文献计量学分析。利用R软件和VOS查看器对关键词聚类和研究对象进行分析，揭示模式和新领域。本研究共涉及机器人辅助子宫切除术的275项研究。近年来，该领域的研究呈现出全球增长的趋势。文章数量在2005年至2008年非常低之后，在2009年至2015年期间迅速上升。2016年至2024年间，出版物的数量有所变化，尽管大部分保持在较高水平。美国是出版物数量最多的国家，其次是中国、日本、韩国和意大利。美国拥有更大的外国合作伙伴网络，在出版业处于领先地位。出版和引用最多的两本期刊是妇科肿瘤学和机器人外科杂志。机器人辅助子宫切除术的临床应用是当前研究热点的首要焦点。机器人手术的经济分析也是一个重要的研究方向，机器人辅助子宫切除术向日间手术模式的转变正逐渐成为一个重要的研究领域。手术机器人是子宫切除术的一个有价值的工具，因为它们在减少失血，缩短住院时间和加速恢复方面的好处。本研究对机器人辅助子宫切除术的现状和研究热点进行了系统的梳理，为今后的临床实践和研究提供了有益的参考。
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.
