Abstract
This comparative bibliometric study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis of the earlier studies in order to comprehend the current application and scientific situation of robotic surgery in the field of obstetrics /gynecology. In this study, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases were used to retrieve the publications since September 2022 on robotic surgery in the obstetrics/gynecology research area. All articles except commentaries, errata, and corrigenda, were included. All duplicate papers were verified twice and eliminated. Most impactful authors, date of publication, leading institutions, language, top published countries, affiliations and, prominent journals were analyzed. According to the methodology detailed above, we retrieved 267 publications from Scopus and 256 publications from the WoS database. Most of the publications were in English language. Harvard Medical School published most of the publications according to Scopus and Brigham and Women's Hospital (n=17) and Harvard Medical School (n=17) published most of the publications according to WoS. According to WoS, the first publication was published in 2002, and according to Scopus, it was published in 1998. Between 2008 and 2022, the amount of documents in both databases expanded dramatically. Concerning the number of publications, the United States of America (USA) ranked in first in both databases. According to Scopus, the second most prolific publishing countries were Germany and South Korea. According to WoS, South Korea is ranked second. Although the number of articles is in the increasing trend, the number of articles published on robotic surgery in gynecology is limited in both databases. The publications have been published from developed countries, especially the USA. Further studies can be done with visualization and other bibliometric methods.
