Core Tip

Core Tip: A total of 346 articles were enrolled. This study presents the first bibliometric analysis in the field of robot-assisted surgery system in gastrointestinal and liver surgery. The prominent words shown low anterior resection has proceeded presently, reflecting that related research is still a key trend in gastrointestinal and liver robotic surgery in the future. The United States is the leading country in the number of publications, Yonsei University is the most productive institution. The current focus of this field is on rectal surgery, long-term prognosis, perioperative management.
