This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the literature related to robotic surgery to understand the research hotspots and development trends in this field. We focus on the fields of robotics and surgery, having conducted a comprehensive literature review utilizing the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database, covering the period from 1999 to 2024. We quantified the annual publication count using GraphPad Prism. In addition, we analyzed authors, countries, institutions, journals, and keywords using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. China and the United States have emerged as the leading countries in terms of publication output. The primary keywords identified include "robot-assisted surgery" and "minimally invasive surgery," among others, which collectively formed eight effective clusters. Research on robotic surgery exhibits a trend of continuous growth, and this field is expected to remain a focal point in surgical studies in the future.
本研究旨在对机器人手术相关文献进行文献计量分析，以了解该领域的研究热点和发展趋势。我们聚焦于机器人技术与手术领域，利用科学引文索引核心合集（WOSCC）数据库进行了全面的文献综述，涵盖1999年至2024年期间。我们使用GraphPad Prism对年度发文量进行了量化。此外，我们使用CiteSpace和VOSviewer对作者、国家、机构、期刊和关键词进行了分析。在发文量方面，中国和美国已成为领先国家。确定的主要关键词包括“机器人辅助手术”和“微创手术”等，这些关键词共同形成了八个有效聚类。机器人手术研究呈现出持续增长的趋势，预计该领域在未来仍将是外科研究的重点。
