The rise of robotic surgery throughout the world, particularly in Latin America, justifies an objective evaluation of research in this field. This study aimed to use bibliometric techniques to identify the research trends and patterns of robotic surgery in Latin America. The research strategy used the terms "Robotic," "Surgery," and the name of all the Latin American countries, in all fields and collections of Web of Science database. Only original articles published between 2009 and 2022 were included. The software Rayyan, Bibliometric in the R Studio, and VOSViewer were used to develop the analyses. After screening, 96 articles were included from 60 different journals. There was a 22.51% annual increase in the scientific production of robotic surgery in the period studied. The more frequent topics by specialty were: Urology (35.4%), General Surgery (34.4%), and Obstetrics and Gynecology (12%). International cooperation was observed in 65.62% of the studies. The Latin American institution with the highest production of manuscripts was the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Mexico, Chile, and Brazil were, in descending order, the nations with the highest number of corresponding authors and total citations. When considering the total number of articles, Brazil ranked ahead of Chile. Scientific production regarding robotic surgery in Latin America has experienced accelerated growth since its beginning, supported by the high degree of collaboration with leading countries in the field.
全球范围内,特别是在拉丁美洲,机器人手术的兴起需要对该领域的研究进行客观评估。本研究旨在使用文献计量学技术来确定拉丁美洲机器人手术的研究趋势和模式。研究策略使用了“机器人”、“手术”和所有拉丁美洲国家的名称,在 Web of Science 数据库的所有领域和收藏中进行检索。仅纳入 2009 年至 2022 年期间发表的原创文章。使用 Rayyan、Bibliometric in the R Studio 和 VOSViewer 软件进行分析。经过筛选,从 60 种不同的期刊中纳入了 96 篇文章。在所研究的时间段内,机器人手术的科学产出以每年 22.51%的速度增长。按专业划分,更为常见的主题有:泌尿科(35.4%)、普通外科(34.4%)和妇产科(12%)。在 65.62%的研究中观察到了国际合作。发表论文数量最多的拉丁美洲机构是智利的 Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile。按相应作者数量和总引用次数排序,墨西哥、智利和巴西位列前三。若考虑文章总数,巴西则领先于智利。自机器人手术开始以来,拉丁美洲的机器人手术研究得到了快速发展,这得益于与该领域领先国家的高度合作。
