Global surgery has become the undisputed starting point for addressing a myriad of problems in surgery today. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly evaluate the scientific productivity in surgery, its behavior, validity and impact. In Latin America, specifically in Colombia, there are no studies that have analyzed this production.
A retrospective cross-sectional bibliometric study was carried out, in which the Colombian Ministry of Science database was consulted with the validated results up to July 2021. In the search section for research groups, the key word "Surgery" was used, and all associated GrupLAC (platform where the information of the research groups can be found) and their registered products were reviewed.
40 groups were included. Only 5 (12.5%) were registered in surgery as main line of research. The great majority of the groups were in the medium-low category, 50% in category C and 22.5% in category B. The vast majority of surgical groups are located in Bogotá (19; 47.5%). The first surgery group in the country was created in 1994 and the last one in 2017. In 27 years of surgical research, a total of 4121 registered scientific articles were found, 83 books, 713 book chapters, 2891 products associated with participation in scientific events, 1221 theses directed, and 1670 projects in colombian surgical research groups. There was evidence of a high rate of underreporting of data, due to duplication of products and incomplete registration of data.
There is a high rate of underreporting of products and data in the GrupLAC of Colombian surgical research groups. Most of the production is located in the Andes region (Antioquia, Valle del Cauca and Bogotá), and is predominantly composed of scientific articles and products associated with participation in scientific events.
全球外科手术已成为解决当今外科众多问题无可争议的起点。因此，有必要不断评估外科学术产出、其表现、有效性和影响力。在拉丁美洲，特别是在哥伦比亚，尚无研究分析此类产出。
开展了一项回顾性横断面文献计量研究，查阅了哥伦比亚科学部数据库截至2021年7月的有效结果。在研究小组搜索板块，使用关键词“外科手术”，并对所有相关的GrupLAC（可查找研究小组信息的平台）及其注册成果进行了审查。
纳入了40个小组。只有5个（12.5%）以外科手术作为主要研究方向进行注册。绝大多数小组处于中低类别，50%为C类，22.5%为B类。绝大多数外科小组位于波哥大（19个；47.5%）。该国第一个外科小组创建于1994年，最后一个创建于2017年。在27年的外科研究中，共发现4121篇注册科学文章、83本书、713章书籍内容、2891项与参与科学活动相关的成果、1221篇指导论文以及哥伦比亚外科研究小组的1670个项目。有证据表明数据漏报率很高，原因是成果重复以及数据登记不完整。
哥伦比亚外科研究小组的GrupLAC中成果和数据的漏报率很高。大部分产出位于安第斯地区（安蒂奥基亚、考卡山谷和波哥大），主要由科学文章和与参与科学活动相关的成果组成。
