Résumé

Body contouring surgery after massive weight loss has emerged a safe and reliable option to improve self-esteem, social life, work ability, physical activity, and sexual activity, and it is considered as an essential step in the multidisciplinary approach to morbid obesity. In this study, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of literature on body contouring after massive weight loss, identifying research trends and areas for future investigation. The Web of Science Core Collection was used to identify the 50 most cited publications on post-massive weight loss surgery. Data collected from each article included: title, journal, publication year, total citations, average citations per year, authors, study type, study topic, country, and institution of origin. The top 50 most-cited articles include 44 original articles and 6 review articles. The most cited article, published by Lockwood in 1991, received a total of 224 citations. The research areas included surgical outcomes and complications (n=19, 38%), psychological aspects such as body image, quality of life and desire for body contouring procedures (n=18, 36%), surgical techniques (n=11, 22%), an anatomical study (n=1, 2%), and a classification system (n=1; 2%). Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal published most (44%) of the papers identified. The University of Pittsburgh was the single institution that contributed the most (n=11; 22%). This bibliometric analysis provides insights and research trends for clinicians interested in body contouring after massive weight loss, facilitating the understanding and evolution of post-bariatric surgery and elucidating the rationale behind current practice. This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each submission to which Evidence-Based Medicine rankings are applicable. This excludes Review Articles, Book Reviews, and manuscripts that concern Basic Science, Animal Studies, Cadaver Studies, and Experimental Studies.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Body contouring surgery after massive weight loss has emerged a safe and reliable option to improve self-esteem, social life, work ability, physical activity, and sexual activity, and it is considered as an essential step in the multidisciplinary approach to morbid obesity. In this study, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of literature on body contouring after massive weight loss, identifying research trends and areas for future investigation.
METHODS METHODS
The Web of Science Core Collection was used to identify the 50 most cited publications on post-massive weight loss surgery. Data collected from each article included: title, journal, publication year, total citations, average citations per year, authors, study type, study topic, country, and institution of origin.
RESULTS RESULTS
The top 50 most-cited articles include 44 original articles and 6 review articles. The most cited article, published by Lockwood in 1991, received a total of 224 citations. The research areas included surgical outcomes and complications (n=19, 38%), psychological aspects such as body image, quality of life and desire for body contouring procedures (n=18, 36%), surgical techniques (n=11, 22%), an anatomical study (n=1, 2%), and a classification system (n=1; 2%). Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal published most (44%) of the papers identified. The University of Pittsburgh was the single institution that contributed the most (n=11; 22%).
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
This bibliometric analysis provides insights and research trends for clinicians interested in body contouring after massive weight loss, facilitating the understanding and evolution of post-bariatric surgery and elucidating the rationale behind current practice.
NO LEVEL ASSIGNED METHODS
This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each submission to which Evidence-Based Medicine rankings are applicable. This excludes Review Articles, Book Reviews, and manuscripts that concern Basic Science, Animal Studies, Cadaver Studies, and Experimental Studies. 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 .
