Mapping global trends and research frontiers in third-space endoscopy: A visual and bibliometric analysis

This bibliometric and visual analysis highlights the expanding role of TSE in modern gastrointestinal endoscopy. This underlines the clinical impact and research momentum. The predominance of Japanese and American institutions points to both geographical clustering of expertise and potential opportunities for wider international participation. Future perspectives should emphasize comparative clinical studies and rigorous long-term outcome studies to confirm the position of TSE as a cornerstone of minimally invasive GI treatment.
