From open to minimally invasive surgery: bibliometric insights into gallbladder carcinoma surgical research

This first bibliometric review of GBC surgical research underscores Asia's leadership in minimally invasive innovation and persistent gaps in evidence-based guidelines. We propose prioritizing international registries, standardized outcome reporting, and AI-driven surgical planning to bridge disparities. The study provides a roadmap for aligning research agendas with global disease burden and technological advancements.
