A Bibliometric Analysis of 4269 Articles Published on Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Journals Indexed in Scientific Citation Index-Expanded Between 2000-2023

Abstract

Background: Especially; In the last decade, the prestige of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy among surgeons and patients has increased, and the demand to get knowledge was accelerated. Holistic evaluation of scientific publications, including publication and citation metrics, is the definition of "Bibliometrics". In the present research, we aimed to analyze the most cited articles about LSG, published between the years 2000-2020, with repect to the database of Web of Science. Materials and Methods: We used the search engine of Clarivate Analytics ®, Web of Science Core Collection, by using the keyword "Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy", and by choosing the “Topic” section on January 1, 2020. Only “Articles” in “English” were included in the study protocol. The publication rates, according to years, countries, journal categories, organizations, authors and publi-cation number, citation, and h-index data were evaluated. Also, publication metrics were evaluated in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross Domestic Product per capita (GDPpp), and Human Development Index (HDI) of the countries. Results: The most productive countries, scientific journals, and authors are USA, Obesity Surgery, and Schauer PR, respectively. A weak positive correlation was found between publication numbers and GDP (r=0.370, p<0.05), also positive correlations with (GDPpp) and HDI (r=0.359, p>0.05; r=0.603, p>0.05; respectively). Conclusions: This study shows the avalanching publication productivity concerning LSG, over the last twenty years. Bibliographic analysis will contribute to facilitating researchers' further research.
