摘要

Objective

To identify and analyze the 50 most cited articles on brachioplasty, highlighting publication trends, influential authors, and key journals.

Methods

A bibliometric analysis was performed in January 2025 using the Scopus database. The term “Brachioplasty” was searched without time or journal restrictions. Screening followed PRISMA guidelines. Articles not primarily focused on brachioplasty or not in English were excluded. Citation analysis was conducted using Scopus. Average citations and citations per year were calculated. Keyword co-occurrence was analyzed using VOSviewer.

Results

Out of 293 identified articles, 50 (17%) were analyzed. Publications spanned 1941–2024, accumulating 1,840 citations, with a mean of 36.8 ± 23.7 citations per paper and 2.59 ± 1.92 citations per year. The highest cited articles were published in 1995 (111 citations), 2006 (95 citations), and 1998 (88 citations). The majority of publications occurred between 2005–2014 (n = 24). Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery published most articles (38%, n = 19), followed by Aesthetic Surgery Journal (22%, n = 11) and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (18%, n = 9). The USA led contributions (n = 32), followed by France and Italy (n = 6 each). Hurwitz D.J. was the most prolific author with three highly cited papers and the highest citation-to-publication ratio (44.67). Most articles were original studies (76%). Keyword analysis identified 61 commonly used terms, with human being most frequent.

Conclusions

This first bibliometric analysis of brachioplasty provides a detailed overview of research evolution, highlighting key publications, leading authors, and prominent journals, offering novel insights into the field.

Level of Evidence III

This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors www.springer.com/00266.
