Background Thyroidectomy is one of the most commonly performed operations among general surgical procedures. However, the literature has no comprehensive bibliometric study on this topic. The aim of the study was to evaluate the outputs of scientific studies on thyroidectomy that were performed between 1980 and 2020, through bibliometric and statistical analyses, to determine the most effective studies, and to reveal current issues and international collaborations. Methods The literature review was performed using the Web of Science (WoS) database. The WoS database was searched by entering the keywords “thyroidectomy” and "thyroid surgery" in the “title” sections of publications, and the articles found were analyzed bibliometrically. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used in the correlation analyses, and a linear regression analysis was made to estimate the number of publications in future years. Results A total of 6650 publications was found.4692 articles (70.5%) of these publications were analyzed bibliometrically. The majority of the articles were in the field of Surgery (2402, 51.2%), Otorhinolaryngology (735, 15.7%), and Endocrinology Metabolism (553, 11.8%). The top 5 countries contributing to the literature were the USA (1004, 21.3%), South Korea (528, 11.2%), Italy (483, 10.2%), China (406, 8.6%), and Turkey (302, 6.4%). The most active three institutions were Yonsei University (100), Korea University (82), and Seoul National University (79). The top 2 journals with the highest publication records were the World Journal of Surgery (240, 5.1%), and Surgery (172, 3.7%). Conclusion This comprehensive bibliometric study on thyroidectomy will be a useful guide for scientists and clinicians.

Amaç: Bu calismanin amaci gonartrozu olan hastalarda semptomlar ve radyolojik derecelendirme sistemi arasindaki ilişkiyi degerlendirmektir. Hastalar ve yöntem: Ocak 2012 ile Haziran 2013 tarihleri arasında primer gonartrozu olan hastalar prospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Kriterleri karşılayan 724 hastanın 512'si (%70,7) kadın, 212'si (%29,3) erkekti. Ortalama yaş 56 (35-79) yıl idi. Klinik değerlendirme için WOMAC skorlaması kullanıldı. Her iki diz yarı fleksiyonda ayakta yük alırken ön-arka, yan ve patella tanjansiyel röntgenleri çekildi ve Kellgren – Lawrence sınıflamasına göre derecelendirme yapıldı. Hastaların WOMAC skorları radyolojik derecelerine göre düzenlendi. Derece 1 derece 2 ile, derece 2 derece 3 ile ve derece 3 derece 4 ile karşılaştırıldı. Ayrıca ek görüntüleme çalışmaları ve önerilen tedavi seçenekleri not edildikten sonra Kellgren – Lawrence derecelerine göre dağılım hesaplandı. Bulgular: Hastaların 89'u (%12.2) evre 1, 208'i (%28.7) evre 2, 256'sı (%35.3) evre 3 ve 171'i (%23.8) evre 4 idi. WOMAC puanlarına göre 1. ve 2. sınıf arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p=0.003). 2. ve 3. derece arasındaki fark anlamlı değildi (p=0.071). Aynı şekilde 3. ve 4. derece arasındaki fark anlamlı değildi (p=0.097). Ek görüntüleme çalışmaları MRI, tomografi ve sintigrafi olup; sunulan tedavi seçenekleri konservatif tedavi, artroskopi, tibial osteotomi, unikondiler diz artroplastisi ve total diz artroplastisi idi. Sonuç: Tedavide karar vermede röntgen ve evreleme yeterli görünmemektedir. Ayrıca semptomlar ve radyolojik bulgular da dikkate alınmalıdır.
