Methods This paper conducted a systematic search and data download of English articles or reviews on surgical treatment of allergic rhinitis from the Web of Science Core Collection from 1998 to 2024. Using VOSviewer and CiteSpace to analyze countries， institutions， authors， journals and keywords from multiple perspectives. Results A total of 1， 041 articles were retrieved， and the number of publications in the field of AR surgery was generally on the rise over the past 25 years.
