The treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) using penile prosthesis implantation (PPI) has recently garnered significant interest, but reports of bibliometric analyses of studies on PPI have yet to appear. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use visualization techniques to statistically and qualitatively assess the state of knowledge, current research topics, and trends in this field. The Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) was searched for publications about PPI from the inception of the database to 2023. VOSviewer (version 1.6.19), CiteSpace (version 6.2. R2), and Excel (version 2021) were used for the data analysis. The results show a total of 1015 original articles and reviews on PPI published over this nearly 50 years, with an increasing trend in the number of studies published each year. The United States is the country with the most published studies (n = 578). Mayo Clinic is the organization with the most publications overall (n = 46). The Journal of Sexual Medicine has the most publications (n = 184). The most prolific author is Wilson, Steven K (n = 31). The most commonly used terms were erectile dysfunction (n = 509), penile prosthesis (n = 332), implantation (n = 207), satisfaction (n = 201), surgery (n = 200), infection (n = 134), outcomes (n = 128), Peyronie's disease (n = 121), men (n = 115), and experience (n = 109). Current research focuses on four main areas: complications of PPI, the current status of inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP), the use of PPI in radical prostatectomy and Peyronie's disease populations, and patient satisfaction after PPI. Improving patient satisfaction with PPI through improved mechanical design and surgical techniques is a key concern for future research.
使用阴茎假体植入术（PPI）治疗勃起功能障碍（ED）最近引起了广泛关注，但关于PPI研究的文献计量分析报告尚未出现。因此，本研究的目的是使用可视化技术对该领域的知识状态、当前研究主题和趋势进行统计和定性评估。检索了科学网核心合集（WoSCC）中的科学引文索引扩展版（SCI-E），以获取从数据库创建到2023年关于PPI的出版物。使用VOSviewer（1.6.19版）、CiteSpace（6.2. R2版）和Excel（2021版）进行数据分析。结果显示，在这近50年中，共发表了1015篇关于PPI的原创文章和综述，每年发表的研究数量呈上升趋势。美国是发表研究最多的国家（n = 578）。梅奥诊所是总体发表量最多的机构（n = 46）。《性医学杂志》发表的文章最多（n = 184）。发文量最多的作者是威尔逊，史蒂文·K（n = 31）。最常用的术语是勃起功能障碍（n = 509）、阴茎假体（n = 332）、植入（n = 207）、满意度（n = 201）、手术（n = 200）、感染（n = 134）、结果（n = 128）、佩罗尼氏病（n = 121）、男性（n = 115）和经验（n = 109）。当前的研究集中在四个主要领域：PPI的并发症、可膨胀阴茎假体（IPP）的现状、PPI在根治性前列腺切除术和佩罗尼氏病患者群体中的应用以及PPI后的患者满意度。通过改进机械设计和手术技术来提高患者对PPI的满意度是未来研究的关键关注点。
