Bibliometric insights in advances of endoscopic thyroidectomy: research status, hotspots, and global trends.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) has witnessed significant advancements over the last three decades. Various surgical methods and approaches have been developed that minimize trauma, enhance aesthetics, and reduce psychological stress caused by scars. Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the main reason for thyroidectomy and ET represents an innovative technique for treating thyroid cancer. In this study, nearly three decades of scientific articles were analyzed and summarized to gain a better understanding by using bibliometric method.

Methods

A total of 486 publications between 1996 and 2023 were retrieved from the Web of Science database through systematic searches. The objective of this study involved characterizing general information and investigating developmental t
