This study aims to investigate the current research trends and focal points in the field of pelvic floor reconstruction for the management of pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
To achieve this objective, a bibliometric analysis was conducted on relevant literature using the Citespace database. The analysis led to the creation of a knowledge map, offering a comprehensive overview of scientific advancements in this research area.
The study included a total of 607 publications, revealing a consistent increase in articles addressing pelvic floor reconstruction for POP treatment. Most articles originated from the United States (317 articles), followed by Chinese scholars (40 articles). However, it is important to note that the overall number of articles remains relatively low. The organization with the highest publication frequency was the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, where Matthew D. Barber leads the academic group. Barber himself has the highest number of published articles (18 articles), followed by Zhu Lan, a Chinese scholar (10 articles). Key topics with high frequency and mediated centrality include stress urinary incontinence, quality of life, impact, and age. The journal with the largest number of papers from both domestic and international researchers is INT UROGYNECOL J. The study's hotspots mainly focus on the impact of pelvic floor reconstruction on the treatment and quality of life of POP patients. The United States leads in this field, but there is a lack of cooperation between countries, institutions, and authors. Moving forward, cross-institutional, cross-national, and cross-disciplinary exchanges and cooperation should be strengthened to further advance the field of pelvic floor reconstructive surgery for POP research.
本研究旨在探讨盆底重建治疗盆腔器官脱垂（POP）领域的当前研究趋势和焦点。
为实现这一目标，我们使用 Citespace 数据库对相关文献进行了文献计量分析。该分析生成了一个知识图谱，全面概述了该研究领域的科学进展。
本研究共纳入 607 篇文献，揭示了针对盆底重建治疗 POP 的文章数量持续增加。大多数文章源自美国（317 篇），其次是中国学者（40 篇）。然而，需要注意的是，总的文章数量相对较低。发表频率最高的机构是俄亥俄州克利夫兰诊所，Matthew D. Barber 领导着该学术团队。Barber 本人发表的文章数量最多（18 篇），其次是中国学者 Zhu Lan（10 篇）。高频和中介中心性的关键主题包括压力性尿失禁、生活质量、影响和年龄。国内外研究人员发文量最大的期刊是《国际尿控学会杂志》。该研究的热点主要集中在盆底重建对 POP 患者治疗和生活质量的影响上。美国在该领域处于领先地位，但国家、机构和作者之间缺乏合作。未来应加强机构间、国家间和跨学科的交流与合作，进一步推动 POP 研究中盆底重建手术领域的发展。
