Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) is considered one of the most complex procedures in general surgery. The number of articles on MIPD has been increasing annually. However, published reports often have complex research directions, and the focal points frequently change. Therefore, a comprehensive review and organization of the literature in this field is necessary.
To summarize current research, predict future hotspots and trends, and provide insights for MIPD development.
To conduct the study, the Web of Science Core Collection was searched for relevant articles. The analysis focused on the top 100 articles in the field. Two widely used bibliometric tools, CiteSpace and VOSviewer, were used to examine various aspects, including research directions, authors, countries, institutions, journals, and keywords.
The top 100 articles were published between 2005 and 2022, with the majority originating from the United States ( = 51). Among the contributing institutions, Pancreas Center of the University of Chicago and the Health System of the University of Chicago had the highest number of publications ( = 17). In terms of individual authors, "Zeh HJ" and "Zureikat AH" led with 13 articles each. The high-frequency keywords in the literature encompassed three main areas: Surgical modality, perioperative outcomes, and the learning curve. These keywords were further categorized into seven primary clusters, with the largest being "laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy".
The most influential studies predominantly originate from the United States, and there is growing interest in robotic surgery. Despite MIPD's potential benefits, further research is required to address technical challenges and improve outcomes.
微创胰十二指肠切除术（MIPD）被认为是普通外科中最复杂的手术之一。关于MIPD的文章数量每年都在增加。然而，已发表的报告往往研究方向复杂，重点也经常变化。因此，有必要对该领域的文献进行全面综述和整理。
总结当前研究，预测未来热点和趋势，并为MIPD的发展提供见解。
为开展本研究，在科学网核心合集（Web of Science Core Collection）中检索相关文章。分析聚焦于该领域的前100篇文章。使用两种广泛使用的文献计量工具CiteSpace和VOSviewer来考察各个方面，包括研究方向、作者、国家、机构、期刊和关键词。
前100篇文章发表于2005年至2022年之间，其中大多数来自美国（n = 51）。在贡献机构中，芝加哥大学胰腺中心和芝加哥大学医疗系统的出版物数量最多（n = 17）。在个人作者方面，“Zeh HJ”和“Zureikat AH”并列领先，各有13篇文章。文献中的高频关键词涵盖三个主要领域：手术方式、围手术期结果和学习曲线。这些关键词进一步分为七个主要聚类，其中最大的是“腹腔镜胰十二指肠切除术”。
最具影响力的研究主要来自美国，对机器人手术的兴趣也在增加。尽管MIPD有潜在益处，但仍需要进一步研究以应对技术挑战并改善结果。
