While breast reconstruction has become more and more important within the past decade, research focus areas as well as trends are in constant change.
The publications from 2012 to 2021 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. CiteSpace visualization analysis software was used to analyze the institutions, countries, regions, categories, and keywords on breast reconstruction research.
A total of 3092 articles were selected. The number of articles published in the last 10 years showed an upward trend year by year. The journal "Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery" had the largest number of publications and citations, representing the core journal. The USA had the largest number of publications and the most extensive cooperation with other countries. The research highlights mainly focused on the improvement of surgical techniques, enhancing postoperative recovery, and oncological safety.
Over the past decade, research on breast reconstruction has developed steadily, and considerable achievements in the field of surgical techniques, postoperative recovery, and oncological safety were reached. Plastic surgeons should continue to strive for a higher level of evidence study designs, while also recognizing the importance of international and multiple-center cooperation.
在过去十年中，乳房重建变得越来越重要，研究重点领域和趋势也在不断变化。
从 Web of Science 核心合集数据库中检索了 2012 年至 2021 年的出版物。使用 CiteSpace 可视化分析软件对乳房重建研究的机构、国家/地区、区域、类别和关键词进行了分析。
共选取了 3092 篇文章。过去 10 年发表的文章数量呈逐年上升趋势。期刊《整形与重建外科》发表的文章数量和被引频次最多，代表了核心期刊。美国发表的文章数量最多，与其他国家的合作也最广泛。研究热点主要集中在手术技术的改进、提高术后恢复和肿瘤学安全性方面。
过去十年，乳房重建研究稳步发展，在手术技术、术后恢复和肿瘤学安全性方面取得了相当大的成就。整形外科医生应继续努力提高证据研究设计水平，同时认识到国际和多中心合作的重要性。
