Studies on endoscopic submucosal dissection in the past 15 years: A bibliometric analysis

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an advanced minimally invasive technique for en bloc resection of superficial gastrointestinal lesions, which is drawn an increasing attention from its emergence. This bibliometric analysis is to evaluate the origin, current hotspots, and research trends on ESD.

Methods

A total of 2,131 publications on ESD from 2006 to 2020 were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Bibliometric visualization analyses of countries/regions, institutes, authors, journals, references and keywords were performed by CiteSpace V.5.8.R3.

Results

The quantity of publications on ESD increased significantly during the past 15 years. Japan occupied the leading position in terms of research power. Prof
