摘要

Robotic-assisted surgery in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) has gained significant attention, yet there is a lack of comprehensive bibliometric and visual analysis in this area. This study aims to systematically map and visualize the global research landscape of robotic-assisted surgery in URPS. A literature search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection database, and selected publications were analyzed bibliometrically. The results were visualized using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the Bibliometrix package in R software. A total of 355 articles and reviews met the inclusion criteria. Research activity in this field is concentrated mainly in Europe, North America, and Asia, with the United States being the leading contributor, accounting for approximately 60% of publications. The Mayo Clinic is the top institution, and Professor Brian J. Linder is the most productive scholar. International Urogynecology Journal and Urogynecology are the most influential journals in this field. High-frequency keywords include "robotic surgery," "sacrocolpopexy," and "pelvic organ prolapse." The current research focus is on robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy, with functional outcomes such as quality of life and sexual function likely to be core areas of future research. As an emerging subdiscipline, the academic recognition and research impact of URPS still need further enhancement. This study is the first systematic bibliometric analysis of robotic-assisted surgery in the URPS field, and the findings will help scholars comprehensively understand the development landscape and research hotspots, providing valuable insights for future clinical practice optimization and research direction choices.
