To carry out a bibliometric analysis of robotic surgery research in the field of breast cancer conducted between 2008 and 2022 and to evaluate the status and trends in the field.
A systematic search was undertaken in the Web of Science (WoS) for published articles related to surgical robots and breast cancer. R and VOSviewer software were used to carry out a quantitative analysis to explore the trend of annual publication volume and the cooperative relationship between countries, institutions, authors, and keywords.
A total of 177 publications were retrieved, 79.66% of which were published from 2016 to 2022, and most were conducted in the United States (US), China, and South Korea. Articles from the US had the most frequent international cooperation. A tally of institutional publications showed that Yonsei University (YONSEI UNIV; Korea) had produced the most publications. The author with the most published papers was Lee of YONSEI UNIV. The most accepted journal was the . Keyword co-occurrence analysis showed that current research hotspots were mainly focused on nipple-conserving mastectomy and breast reconstruction, and breast-conserving and nipple-conserving mastectomy may be future research hotspots.
The annual incidence of robotic surgery and breast cancer is gradually increasing. The predominant countries conducting research in this field include the US, China, and South Korea, and the institutions are mainly distributed in universities and hospitals. Nipple-conserving mastectomy and breast reconstruction may be the current research hotspots, and breast-conserving mastectomy and minimally invasive surgery may represent hot research areas in the future. These findings may help scholars who are committed to the application of surgical robots to breast cancer to better understand the current research status and trends.
对2008年至2022年期间开展的乳腺癌领域机器人手术研究进行文献计量分析，并评估该领域的现状和趋势。
在科学网（WoS）中对与手术机器人和乳腺癌相关的已发表文章进行系统检索。使用R和VOSviewer软件进行定量分析，以探究年度发表量趋势以及国家、机构、作者和关键词之间的合作关系。
共检索到177篇出版物，其中79.66%发表于2016年至2022年，且大多数研究在美国、中国和韩国开展。美国的文章国际合作最为频繁。机构出版物统计显示，延世大学（韩国延世大学）发表的文章最多。发表论文最多的作者是延世大学的Lee。最受欢迎的期刊是《 》。关键词共现分析表明，当前研究热点主要集中在保乳乳房切除术和乳房重建，且保乳和保乳乳房切除术可能是未来的研究热点。
机器人手术与乳腺癌的年度发生率在逐渐上升。开展该领域研究的主要国家包括美国、中国和韩国，机构主要分布在大学和医院。保乳乳房切除术和乳房重建可能是当前的研究热点，而保乳乳房切除术和微创手术可能代表未来的热门研究领域。这些发现可能有助于致力于手术机器人在乳腺癌中应用的学者更好地了解当前的研究现状和趋势。
