Publication Year: 2025
Subject Terms: Incisional hernia -Component separation, Bibliometric analysis, RD1-811, Surgery, Review Article
Description: INTRODUCTION: In parallel with the increasing number of studies published on component separation technique (CST), there are no bibliometric studies on this subject. This study aimed to report previously published literature in CST to identify the research status. METHODS: A search was undertaken for documents published between 1996 and 2023 from the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, using the keywords “incisional hernia” and “component separation.” RESULTS: A total of 469 publications was found from 121 different journals. The USA was in the leading position in several fields (productive authors, active institutions, and international cooperation). CST was predominantly published in plastic surgery journals; however, after more specialized journals on topics such as Hernia became predominant, dominating the number of publications since 2013. “Transversus Abdominis Release” and “minimally invasive” have been trending keywords in recent years. CONCLUSION: Although CST research on incisional hernia repair has witnessed notable growth, publications in plastic surgery journals have declined. We encourage these journals to highlight the critical role of plastic surgery and the importance of collaboration between general and plastic surgeons worldwide, focusing on minimally invasive techniques to establish robust evidence for the standard repair of large abdominal wall defects.
