Tissue expansion techniques in reconstructive surgery: a 10-year bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tissue expansion (TE) has attracted significant attention from researchers over the past decade. However, there are currently no bibliometric analyses in this field. We aimed to quantitatively and visually analyze the literature to explore the hotspots and frontiers in TE research.

Methods

We extracted all the documents on this topic published from the Web of Science Core Citation (WOSCC) database between 2012 and 2021. CiteSpace (version 5.8 R3) and VOSviewer (version 1.6.18) were used to perform the visualization analysis.

Results

A total of 1,085 documents were included in the analysis. The publication trend fluctuated over time. The United States led the research, and Harvard University was the most productive institution. Plastic and Reconstructive
