Abstract

Objective
Conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on postoperative dysuria after Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) over the past two decades, identifying research trends, influential articles, key contributors, and collaborative networks.
Methods
Publications from 2003 to 2024 were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection using relevant keywords. Data analysis included publication trends, most-cited articles, productive authors, keyword co-occurrence networks, and country collaboration maps. VOSviewer software was used for advanced network visualization.
Results
A total of 327 articles were included. Annual publications increased significantly after 2015, peaking in 2022. The most cited work was a meta-analysis by Ahyai et al. Germany, South Korea, and Italy were the leading countries by publication volume. Keyword analysis showed predominant focus areas such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, lower urinary tract symptoms, and dysuria. VOSviewer mapping revealed distinct research clusters emphasizing surgical techniques, postoperative outcomes, morcellation efficiency, and learning curves. Country collaboration networks highlighted strong partnerships among Germany, South Korea, and the United States.
Conclusion
Research interest in HoLEP-related dysuria has expanded significantly, with evolving trends towards surgical optimization, energy efficiency, and patient-reported outcomes. Greater international collaboration and standardized outcome reporting are needed for future research directions.

Prostatın Holmium Lazer Enükleasyonu Sonrası Gelişen Dizüriye Yönelik 20 Yıllık Bibliyometrik Bir Değerlendirme

Year 2025, Volume: 4 Issue: 2, 81 - 87, 06.09.2025

Abstract

Amaç
Son yirmi yılda Holmium Lazer Enükleasyonu (HoLEP) sonrası gelişen postoperatif dizüri üzerine yapılmış araştırmaların kapsamlı bir bibliyometrik analizini yaparak araştırma eğilimlerini, etkili makaleleri, önde gelen katkı sağlayıcıları ve iş birliği ağlarını belirlemek.

Yöntemler
2003–2024 yılları arasındaki yayınlar, ilgili anahtar kelimeler kullanılarak Web of Science Core Collection veri tabanından elde edilmiştir. Veri analizi; yayın eğilimleri, en çok atıf alan makaleler, üretken yazarlar, anahtar kelime eş-oluşum ağları ve ülkeler arası iş birliği haritalarını içermektedir. Gelişmiş ağ görselleştirmeleri için VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular
Toplam 327 makale analize dahil edilmiştir. Yıllık yayın sayısında 2015 sonrasında belirgin bir artış gözlenmiş, 2022 yılında zirveye ulaşmıştır. En çok atıf alan çalışma, Ahyai ve arkadaşlarının yaptığı bir meta-analiz olmuştur. Yayın hacmine göre Almanya, Güney Kore ve İtalya en önde gelen ülkeler olmuştur. Anahtar kelime analizinde, iyi huylu prostat büyümesi, alt üriner sistem semptomları ve dizüri gibi başlıca odak alanlar öne çıkmıştır. VOSviewer ile yapılan haritalama, cerrahi teknikler, postoperatif sonuçlar, morselasyon verimliliği ve öğrenme eğrileri gibi alanlara odaklanan belirgin araştırma kümeleri ortaya koymuştur. Ülkeler arası iş birliği analizinde Almanya, Güney Kore ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri arasında güçlü ortaklıklar saptanmıştır.

Sonuç
HoLEP ile ilişkili dizüri konusundaki araştırma ilgisi önemli ölçüde artmıştır. Eğilimler, cerrahi optimizasyon, enerji verimliliği ve hasta tarafından bildirilen sonuçlara doğru evrilmektedir. Gelecek araştırmalar için daha fazla uluslararası iş birliği ve standartlaştırılmış sonuç bildirimi gereklidir.
