Submucosal tumors (SMTs) are rare conditions frequently encountered in clinical endoscopic practice. With advancements in endoscopic technology over the past decade, endoscopic management of SMTs has emerged as a significant research area.
To examine developments in this field, compare contributions from different countries, institutions, and authors, and identify potential research hotspots.
Relevant publications on the endoscopic management of SMTs between January 2010 and June 2024 were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace were used to analyze publication trends and visualize key results.
Overall, 339 publications by 1840 authors from 31 countries/regions were included. was the most prominent journal in the field (62 articles, 18.29%). Most research was conducted in China ( = 212), followed by Japan ( = 47), and the United States ( = 28). Fudan University (China) was the most active institution, and Professor Zhou published the most papers ( = 27) with had the highest citation count ( = 1167). Emerging research topics include full-thickness resection devices, defect closure, and cooperative surgery.
The endoscopic management of SMTs has advanced rapidly over the past 14 years. However, national and regional development disparities persist, with limited high-level studies and weak inter-institutional and international collaboration. Device-assisted techniques and combined surgical endoscopic resections are emerging as key areas for future research.
黏膜下肿瘤（SMTs）是临床内镜实践中经常遇到的罕见病症。在过去十年中，随着内镜技术的进步，SMTs的内镜治疗已成为一个重要的研究领域。
研究该领域的发展情况，比较不同国家、机构和作者的贡献，并确定潜在的研究热点。
从Web of Science核心合集数据库中提取2010年1月至2024年6月期间关于SMTs内镜治疗的相关出版物。使用Microsoft Excel、VOSviewer和CiteSpace分析出版趋势并可视化关键结果。
总体而言，纳入了来自31个国家/地区的1840名作者的339篇出版物。 是该领域最突出的期刊（62篇文章，18.29%）。大多数研究在中国进行（ = 212），其次是日本（ = 47）和美国（ = 28）。复旦大学（中国）是最活跃的机构，周教授发表的论文最多（ = 27），其被引次数最高（ = 1167）。新兴的研究主题包括全层切除装置、缺损闭合和联合手术。
在过去14年中，SMTs的内镜治疗发展迅速。然而，国家和地区发展差距仍然存在，高水平研究有限，机构间和国际合作薄弱。设备辅助技术和内镜联合手术切除正成为未来研究的关键领域。
