BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH ON THE MANAGEMENT OF IATROGENIC VASCULAR INJURIES DURING GENERAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES (2000-2025).

Research on IVIs during general surgery has expanded significantly over the past two decades, driven by advances in endovascular repair and imaging. However, output remains highly concentrated in specialized journals and dominated by single-country contributions, with limited global collaboration and underrepresentation of preventive strategies. Future research should prioritize multinational registries, standardized reporting, and comparative studies of prevention and long-term outcomes. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and simulation-based training offer promising directions for reducing IVI risk and improving patient safety.
