📃Scientific paper: Knowledge-map analysis of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for urolithiasis
Abstract:
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) has been used in the treatment of urolithiasis for more than 20 years.
However, bibliometric analysis of the global use of PNL for urolithiasis is rare.
We retrieved the literatures on PNL and urolithiasis from Web of science core collection database.
VOSviewer was used to analyze keywords, citations, publications, co-authorship, themes, and trend topics.
A total of 3103 articles were analyzed, most of which were original ones.
The most common keywords were “percutaneous nephrology” and “urolithiasis”, both of which were closely related to “ureteroscopy”.
Journal of Urology and Zeng Guohua from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University were the most published journal and author in this field.
The most productive country was the United States, and its closest partners were Canada, China, and Italy .
The five hot topics were the specific application methods and means, risk factors of urolithiasis, the development of treatment technology of urolithiasis, the characteristics, composition, and properties of stones, and the evaluation of curative effect .
This study aimed to provide a new perspective for PNL treatment of urolithiasis and provided valuable information for urologic researchers to understand their research hotspots, cooperative institutions, and research frontiers.
